1820 Decr 3

Viewing the importance of the service in that light you
will not wonder at my embracing every the faintes anxiety
to avail myself of every incident that presented any the faint additional chance, how faint so ever, of accomplishing
it.

On the part of your government, the bargain will not
I hope be regarded as a very hard one. How faint so ever
may be the expectation of benefit in relation to the paper money,
the sacrifice made for it will not at any rate be surely be deemed
a very burthensome one: a letter from the Min in the name
of his Majesty from the Minister to whom it appertains,
in a meeting the Minister of Justice I suppose,
wanting me to render conveying to me in relation to that department,
the an invitation analogous to that which
his colleague the Mir Finance Minister has been pleased already
to gi honour me with in relation to his.

The only difference is – the special authority from his your
Majesty: King: a document which, in regard to the paper
money I do not look for not seeing any demand feeling any need of
for it. it This paper money is but as a drop in the bucket compared with an
all-comprehensive body of law: if nothing comes of it, it
is but a few days lost.

But the drawing up an all-comprehensive body
of law, accompanied all along with reasons, together with other
unprecedented appendages – a work, more (I fear) than
sufficient to fill up what remains to me of life is as
case a sort of job enterprise by much too great to be undertaken
without express commission: to be undertaken, as a commercial
man might say upon speculation: undertaken without
any assurance of its being put to use. Not⊞ ⊞ Not that the whole
benefit, if there be
any, will depend upon
my having long enough
for the completion of it.
I shall work hard:
and so far as it goes
whatever I hsave have
done will be yours.
