Short Letter
Ground as well as building was thus to have been
mine: the Ground was never not to have reverted to government :
no such corruption could at that time have
presented itself to me as that of a having the ground
or any thing upon it taken from me by government
with or without a satisfaction.
It was impossible therefore I should have made
any such distinction in my own mind with respect
to the £247,000 as to say , £12,000 of it is to be
paid me given me absolutely , the remaining £15,000
only but , with or without reference to the building. No
such condition having been meant ever intended on my
part , will Mr Pitt it be thought necessary in
justice to the public, now to force it on me?
I have the honour to be
with great respect
Sir,
Your most obedient and
humble Servant
Jeremy Bentham
