I am of the opinion that Marcum ought not to be held responsibile for the act mentioned in the petition for which he is indicted --

He done wrong I have no doubt but he was mad I & he had good reason be mad I have looked into his case & am confident that Marcum has been "Sinned against" as well as Sinning himself
