To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Robinson had just written, I signed it ; but it was distinctly understood that it had no application to anything but the threatened attack on Lawrence that night. I had, during my negotiations with Dr. Robinson, as one of the committee on behalf of the citizens assembled in Lawrence, repeatedly assured him that if the people of that place would acknowledge the validity of the Ter ritorial laws until otherwise determined by legitimate authority, and would place themselves under their protection,... I would exert all the power vested in me to protect the citizens of that town, both in their persons and pro perty, and in securing them from an attack. And I will here state that after an arrangement had been made with those assembled in Lawrence, and after my assurances of protection, so far as in my power lay, I should have looked upon any assault upon the town of Lawrence on the night of December the 9th as an outrage, and wholly unjustifiable, and I should have felt myself bound, both in duty and honor, to have exerted myself to the utmost to have prevented so unwarrantable an act of violence.
