The opponent was a veteran military surgeon Humphrey Howarth. He arrived to the duel compleatily naked explaining that infection from the gunshot wound was often more fatal than the wound it's self, and thus he wanted to protect himself more. This compleatly preplexed Henry and he either forfited the duel out of what he saw as absurdity or he simply fired into the air. That duel settled their grievences, and there was no further conflict.
BTW, the post is a joke, I know that real history is much more complicated than that.
