Here, Sir, ends the intended Memorial. But
in the course of my conversation with Mr Long,
some hints fell from that Gentleman, which
could not, as it seems to me, be with equal
propriety taken taken notice of in any such
paper, and which at the same time seemed too
material not to be reported, Sir, to you. His
notion was that there might be a spot found that such as is or might be made
suggested a spot, without naming it, a spot as
being or being capable of being made equally to answer the
equally eligible, some
where on Hounslow Heath, in as much as it had has
or would or is at one time or other to have in some way or other the benefit
of Water Carriage. My answer was that such
a spot, if it did does exist (for I know of no navigable canal as yet existing anywhere on Hounslow Heath) would not be by any means
be equally advantageous eligible: not with a view to the public service, for
want of equal vicinity to the great seat of public inspection
the metropolis: not with a view to my own private
economy, as not beng equa (an object essentially connected with the public service) for want of equal
vicinity to that great for & depot of raw materials, & finished goods. Speak
On my Speaking of the faith of the engagement, & of old spot as the basis of the proposal
that had been accepted, he had there upon the candour
to admitt, that certainly whatever were
the terms contained in it, I could not be considered
as bound by those terms, were the land old spot to be
taken
