"Master Pope," he writes, "is under persecution from Curll, who has by some means (wicked ones most certainly) got hold of some of Pope's private letters, which he has printed, and threatens more."] [Footnote 98: Vol. I.

He would not use the new letters without his unfailing pretext that they "were in such hands as to be in imminent danger of being printed."] [Footnote 114: These particulars are derived from the Chancery Bill _Dodsley_ v. _Watson_, and from the documents preserved by Pope's solicitor, Mr. Cole, and now in the possession of his successors in the business, Messrs. Janssen and Co. I owe the extracts from Cole's papers to Mr. Dilke, who was indebted for them to the present members of the firm.] [Footnote 115: Vol. I. p. xliii.]
