		But a letter that Clinton wrote in December 1969 in which he apologized for not writing more often — "I know I promised to let you hear from me at least once a month" — is the strongest evidence that Holmes was aware of and approved Clinton's plan to go back to Oxford.

		Sir Henry's need for absolution sparked off the "Clinton-Cornwallis Controversy," a war of pamphlets, books and letters which began during the latter days of the war and flared up off and on until Clinton's death in 1795.
		Even before he returned to England, Sir Henry set to work on a full history of the war which he intended to be his ultimate self-justification.
