Notwithstanding what
is above, and what may
be looked and by some
hoped for, J.B. will not
refuse even on the terms
now proposed. [The design
all along seen through.
J.B. pushed into the
net not drawn into it.
Indian trial –
Palmer sunk, J.B. not,
nerves more endurant,
merits not suffered to come
into existence.] p.13.

22.
[Treasury charge made
upon J.B. of having departed
from his terms –
anonymous – and conveyed
only by insinuation – the
falshood disguised by equivocal
terms.] p 14

23.
[With J.B. his not being
able to do more than
half the promised good
no reason for doing none.]
He will therefore not
refuse undertaking on the
reduced scale. p 15.

24
But in justice to both
Treasury & himself he
will have to secure to
them the whole merit
of the reduction: stating
to the public the reasons
urged by him against it
and calling for their counter-reasons. p 16.

25.
The very proposal is a breach
of good faith. The fact of the
engagement pointedly
stated and never denied by
those whose reputation
for probity was concerned to
deny it.
Nothing but a fixation of
the day for payment & subjection
to law wanting to
render the proposal an
act of bankruptcy. p.17.

10s. in the £ being offered
J.B. accepts of, but only
because otherwise he would
get nothing. p.18.

27.
[When the plan was condemned
it was without
a hearing.]: reason, none
now found or pretended to
be found is mere will:
motives as needless as
dangerous to be stated.] p.19

28.
"Remuneration" not
the proper word: no service
no remuneration.
Compensation the
proper word and as to this
and as to this reference to
to J.B.'s Examination
before Finance Commee
of 1797-8 as per 28th Report
may for the present it is
hoped suffice. p.20.

Addendum

By relinquishing J.B's
plan on pretence of increase
of terms Treasury
could not make any saving: sum the least they
could build a Penitentiary
House for so any other
plan would be some
number of times what
it would cost in J.B.'s.

A plan so conspicuously
approved of by the
Finance Committee required
at to something
at least in the shape of
a reason to warrant
the either the rejection of
it or such a sl slight
as has been put upon
it.
