Greece J. Be. to J. Bo.
1. , 'Concluding part,

J. Be. to J. Bo.

You may have been perfectly
in the right for aught I can pretend to know (with
the exception of the delaying Blaquiere's departure
for his accommodation) and if I thought you ever
so much in the wrong, it would make no difference
in my conduct on the present occasion.
What I want to know, is what course you
would wish me to take on the present occasion —
what you would wish me to say to the Greeks?
Unless I have this before it is necessary for me
to see them or write to them, it may happen to
me to make bad worse : perhaps in reality, &
still more probably in your eyes. I hope they
will not force me to give them an answer
before I have had time to hear from you after
your having had time to give a quick consideration
to my reasons, for in the few minutes
of my Jack's stay with you, that was not possible.
I will certainly hear what you refer
me to in the MS. Book you send me, and
perhaps endeavour to see Hamilton Browne:
but I do not very well see how any thing
he could have to tell me of what fell under
his observation could have much influence
on the state of the question.

In my position, it belongs not to me
to attempt to exercise any thing like will: and
were I ever so much pressed to it, I would not do
any such thing, being as thoroughly convinced
of my own incompetence as any body could
