to a new Edition of the Defense of Usury on the
subject of the Education-plan. I mean to do

could favour me with the heads of your reasons in favour
of the measure in the same way I should be (half a dozen
sentences would I suppose comprize them) much obliged to you it would save me a world
of paper in beating about for shadows. Your Of course
I should neither mention you nor allude to you unless you give me
You should see it I would send it you before it was printed if the you thought
it worth your while to look at it.⊞ ⊞ If it were my good fortune to convince you it might be by arguements which would apply to shew harder than I have not seen landed upon in the debates, & which would apply to other measures in abundance besides this. I mention it now because it is
not improbable I might be for publishing it
before your return to England. Want of time
and room alone would nothing else, will prevent my laughing at
them your reasons whatever they are; for if I did it to
my own satisfaction, I should expect you to laugh
with me, though you are I should believe think the only man it was has

say as much.
