To Ld Sidmouth
5. Should even this hope fail me, then it is that⊞ ⊞ irksome as would be the task to me – more irksome gratingly than any person would readily be able to readily imagine, –
I should deem it necessary to submitt in the first instance to your Lordship
and in the last instance to Parliament and the public
at large, a compleat and examination of the grounds and reasons,
on by which, in that same Report, the measure propriety of rescinding
the Contract in question, depriving the public of the benefit of it, and and breaking the public faith
for so many years plighted to me, is grounded endeavoured to be suffered
has been endeavoured to be supported.
Under the idea, that perhaps possibly, at the expence of a few more

valuable, I before now that the pen is in my hand

as brief as I can make it of some of the topics
on which I should have to touch.

taken place given in since I had the honour of seeing attending Your Lordship,
as well as to submitt to Your Lordship on my own part, some eventual
offers which these pages will bring to view which it seems
necessary for me to make, that neither any personal interests nor so much⊞ ⊞ as any rights of my own, may intimately stand in the way of the public service.
