in each instance as long as possible — Perspicuity, however,
— not entertainment — being the object here in view, nor even
that attainable without difficulty, I shall take the liberty
of subjoining a big intimation of the result of each
negotiation, at this early stage, reserving for the several
correspondent heads, the development of the intervening incidents.—

Contract to guard against
Ld Salisbury deeean
Result - Directions given
to prepare it which.
Which refund to execute
15 Novr 1795 conveyance
executed - 10,11,+12 Octr
dates upon the Deed-
Application I. Subject the Previous Contract. Purposes,
guarding against the contingency of the Lord Salisbury's decease
before the completion of the business and the putting me
so much the sooner in a condition to treat with other
parties interested whether on those same lands or on
such other lands as were requisite to the completion of
the allotment. -Commencement 1799.- Result,
Directions having been given by the Board to their Sollicitor
to prepare such Contract, refusal on his part to execute
such directions [ 1799.] Reasons, none assigned or
assignable.—Notice given by me to Mr Long such refusal
— no notice taken by him — and from that time all
my exertions to obtain either redress or explanation fruitless.
15 Novr 1799 or a day or two before, the conveyance executed
without any previous Contract.—Tenth, 11th & 12th of October the
dates apparent upon the face of the Deed.—sec §:

-ordered-
Febry 20 1800 Commission
given to J.B. to proceed
upon the sham treaty
II. Application the second.— Subject, the sum requisite
(£1000)(as per Lord Salisbury's offer and the Surveyor General
Report) for the buying out the existing Leases. Purpose, the
obtaining that actual possession without which the building
could not be either commenced or so much as planned: &
without which, of consequence, the £12,000 paid to the Land
Lord for his rights was and is so much public money
wasted. Result, the money ordered — then the execution of
the order stopped, without reason assigned and assignable.—
