Re 7.2196

Dear McCausland,

Thanks for your enclosure, and your sentiment

Quite a number of my friends shared it. And one or 2 wished me to throw a brick

However, altho very much annoyed (plagiarism seems to [[underlined]] me [[/underlined]] one of the worst crimes— of course— for it’s [[strikethrough]] about [[/strikethrough]] one of the few that can be committed against me) I preferred not to look— and to wait patiently till the disagreeable dust + stick storm subside.

I think you should have said “infringed [[underlined]] upon [[/underlined]]”

anyway the less notice taken - the better
