for other Land — My expectation was, I must confess,
Sir, either that Administration, after due consideration
given to the case, would give up the idea of any further
choice, & give me the old spot at the first word,
or else that some particular spot, such as Administration,
with or without hearing the gentlemen who oppose
the existing choice had seen reason to be satisfied
with, which they thought would be or might be
made to be, "as proper & convenient" (though I, without
their knowledge, happened to be convinced of the
contrary) and which was known to be in readiness
to be taken possession of without opposition, would
have been proffer'd to me. I was the more strongly
impressed with this idea, in as much as I had
repeatedly understood from Sir Charles Bunbury
that there were two spots, both in Battersea Parish,
& both of which he specified, which the gentlemen
who refused me the other were (to my great surprized)
ready to insure to me. Instead of that no spot was
in readiness, the four counties, or at least the
environs of the navigation, actual & possible, were to
be searched for some other spot, & my pretensions to
the existing spot were to be given up, as a preliminary
to the search after the possible one. In
stating the matter in these terms, far be it from
me to impute, for in my conscience I do not
impute any thing unreasonable to Mr Long: so
far
