1820 Novr 20
J.B. to Mora

On On Thursday Saturday the 18th I received your letter of the 30th
October enclosed in a letter of our friend's from at Paris dated
the 12th instant. In future unless it be matters that may wait
without inconvenience necessity requires that you should write
to me directly, and his generosity will excuse it. For note an
ill effect of the circuity. In that letter of his he gives me
an extract of one of yours to him stating the disadvantages you
are labouring under in respect of your publication; and he
gives a general conception of your plan for the removal of them.
Unfortunately our friends conceptions are not always as mature
as his designs are liberal and generous. On the present occasion, The one thing needful
he omitts to give: namely to describe it in his words "The details
"of the plan, relative to the encreasing the size of the paper, subscribing
"for the foreign journals paying contributors, and engaging one or two
"able assistants." I wrote to him my last that days post (Friday 17th) but
I was so pressed for time I wrote to you and to other places
that my weak eyes could not find time to receive a to his letter
if I had I should have desired to desire him immediately to forward
to me those same "details". which now I can not do till the next post
namely tomorrow the 22. It is a hundred to one against
my being able to accomplish the plan: but as it this is one to
a hundred in favour of it, I shall see what can be done. Meantime,
regarding the Chevalier here as you a friend of yours, I
have appointed him to call upon me on Thursday. My object
is to engage him to put into put into his pocket and send regularly to
you by post the Traveller for the 6 days the week and the Examiner
for the 7th. In regard to English news you will in that case
be as well off perhaps as your most highly foes and rival. To reduce
the postage both these papers may I expect to get printed for you on
the thin sort of paper on which I write this, and blank margins, and
perhaps the petty local articles of that could not interest you might also
be cut off. As an agent of your government acting for the interest of
your government this would surely in his estimate be a very moderate return for those
official works of my Brothers which no money could I believe purchase for your
government. I shall try half just half earnest whether I can not make drive
a bargain with him for that purpose.
