That's all I know. I have no reason to doubt this statement.

Isn't that backwards? Doesn't one need reason to believe the statement rather than reason to doubt it?

I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it. (Letter to James H. Hackett, November 2, 1863)
