I am sorry I can not avoid being so troublesome
Sirs as to address to you.

Administration, Sir, are certainly the judges,
and the sole judges of what may be proper for them
to grant: but I, Sir, in my humble sphere
am the a proper judge, and Mr Long will not dispute it in the first instance at
any rate the sole only proper judge, of what it is proper may be fit
for me to propose.

Among the objects and satisfactions
I promised myself from the institution of the
establishment was the consciousness, and to speak
honestly the credit, of having been the an humble instrument
of contributing to the degree in question in so considerable degree to
the great object of public economy. Can I propose
to make a sacrifice of this object in the
so great a degree, to private claims which to me appear
so perfectly unfounded?

I have moreover, Sir, a character to maintain keep up, which
obscure as it is, is I flatter myself has maintained itself hitherto without
a flaw. How could I maintain it as it has been
maintained hitherto, were I to propose or even
be mounting to any such arrangements?
