J.B. to Brougham urging him to act in concert with J.B.
My dear Lord
Dear I still call you: for in many respects
notwithstanding all that has passed between us, or can pass between
us, such you have ever been, and such you will ever be.
My firm opinion is that it will would be Beneficial to it
would be to your interest in every respect to act in concert with me.
This is what I am thoroughly convinced of. I tell you so in
the plainest terms: they are the best suited to the purpose.
This is your interest for two concurring reasons
1. You have much to give suffer to lose and to fear in the event of
your not so doing
2. You have much to enjoy, to gain and to hope in the
event of your not so doing
It is in your power without detriment to your own interest
to come over to me on the several parts of the ground
on which we are not assured
In relation to the subject in question It is not altogether out of my power to go over to you
on any part of that ground without destruction to all my own
purposes on in relation to the subject in question without any benefit to you
and yours
1. First then, as to what you have to suffer, to lose and to fear from not
in the event of your not acting in concert with me.
There is Taking your and your in hand, I address myself to you as follows. Of whatever presents itself as capable contributing without
untruth or insincerity to the endamagement of your reputation
for in respect of appropriate aptitude in relation to he situation which you
occupy, there is not anything that I shall declare or hesitate
to employ against you: notwithstanding all the pain and grief
which, all the while I am so doing I shall be giving to
myself.
2. Your plan as it stands at present, abounds in every
one of its arrangements with imperfections, which the nature of
the case admitts of its being cleared of.
3. It is thereupon a tissue of incompetence: in other
words of virtual self-condemnation. You have not turned to yourself
to have done right or spoken truly on the occasion without proving that you have done any
wrong and spoken untruly
on another occasion.
