desk and the light
stands are driven
with equal freedom?

Is it really your will
that it should be inconceivably

with you, without
other: the credit of doing
it I lay at your feet

Do you Is it really
your wish to promote
your professed design.
I will tell you
how to accomplish it.
Take up Mr Humphreys.
Put him into
Parliament. He will
then be in a situation
to give support to
his plan.
You have a Brother
who, if it were possible
for you to be at a loss
how otherwise to manage

Hundreds.
Oh but Mr Humphreys
and you understand

will for one
accompany you?
I do not mean
it as a sermon.
Upon my word and
honour, I speak it
with the plainest
sincerity.
It would be matter
of the highest satisfaction
to me to be able
to persuade myself
that in the course
