"I have much to say why my reputation should be rescued from the load of false accusation and calumny which has been heaped upon it."

Previous Quote

There are a great many of these accusers, and they have been accusing me now for a great many years, and what is more, they approached you at the most impressionable age, when some of you were children or adolescents; and literally won their case by default, because there was no one to defend me.
