I have received both your letters. The interest of the past proceedings in Upper Canada is quite merged in that of more recent occurrences; so that the accompanying statement would at this moment hardly find a reader. Head, with all his talent, decision, and courage, is very conceited and injudicious. The admission to which you refer is perfectly absurd, and, as you say, completely contradicted by the whole tenor of the letter. Head seems a man born to get into scrapes and to get out of them again; but however amusing the spectacle of his active ingenuity in repairing his own blunders may be to others, the process cannot be very advantageous to his own reputation or welfare. He has, however, so many fine qualities, that it is a duty to stand by him as long as possible.
