The document I allude to is a sort of portrait dr
of me, drawn in, and I may venture to even say by our House
of Commons: Here and what renders it the more singular
and the more valuable, is that for two or three who are
were on the same side in politics, I had at that very time
in the House near a hundred adversaries. I have You will find it subjoined
it to this letter. you will find it distinguished distinguished by letter B

Seeing no Visible as are upon the face of the
transaction my dispositions and my wishes anything
that may appear singular in this mode of dealing will
I hope be regarded with indulgence: whatsoever may be thought of it in other respects my anxiety to be admitted
to render the more important service in question

I have no secrets: I need none: this same mode of dealing I will tell you why

drawing up of a compleat body of law proposed law. Of the nature
and extent and importance of this service no individual but myself
can be in a way to form any tolerably adequate conception.

habit of traversing it in all the same directions, and to have devised
the same collection of means for the accomplishment of the
several ends that appertain to it.
