J.B. to Treasury

Jany 1811

After so much as has been said, an expectation
that may not be unapt to present itself, and looked for not
impossibly perhaps by some eyes, with not altogether without
impatience—is a direct refusal on my part
to undertake the business on any such reduced
terms.

But no, Sir, no such refusal, is it will their
Lordships destiny to receive from me. The expedient
was is of the number of those that were tried long
ago, that have been tried over and over again, but
were seen through from the very first have all
along been very most continuously and I do beg leave to
assure you, Sir, very successfully guarded, and
never to any the smalles smallest degree have in
any one instance, succeeded. By more irresistible force
I have indeed been dragged and thrown headlong at
this act, but never have I been entered to it into it nor for so much as a moment
have I nor so much as a single step towards it.

From first to last Sir it has been an Indian a Cherokee trial
Sir, on the one part which shall inflict most, on
the other part which shall bear most: and I
will venture to appeal to all or any of the the several Gentlemen Right Honourable and Honourable
to whose whose lot in the course of so many years almost these twenty years it has fallen
to bear a part in the ceremony, whether I have
ever flinched.

While the trial of a man whose services could not were too great to
be forgiven. I mean Mr Palmer was going on, the trial of another
man in whom the faculty of rendering service had been nipped in
the bud, was going on upon the same principles and in the same hands. Mr Palmer in
a moment of
weakness sunk under
the torture and
great was the comfort relief
offered to the surrounding court. As
for my part what I have wanted in merits I have made up in nerves what I have with the benefit [of] his example before my eyes in the character of a warning. I /am still upon my legs/ still have to give him trouble.
