8 Sept. 1812
To Ld Sidmouth

2. Another Member of Parliament – a Right Honourable
Gentleman also wants a place. A place of £4000
a year, added to a pension of £1,500 a year
falls still short of his merits.

From the middle of the year 1794 down to the end of the
Mr Pitt Administration of Mr Pitt, it had been in the character of Under
Secretary of State the Treasury it had been part of his
official duty to do what depended upon him towards
expediting the Contract with the individual abovementioned in question
in the discharge of that part of his duty what sort of course
was taken by him any person or person who had power to enquire might
have more than by a good deal than it would be agreable
to them to be understood sure to know.

To the sort of Right Hon. Gentleman so perfectly now
was To the business which in which he now condescends to
know a part – so and at the same time so ashamed
that he could not scarce persuade himself to bestow a glance upon
it. In those days there was a Mr Ford, who in quality
of a Police Magistrate and to be a regular attendant at the Treasury
and Secretary of State's Office. To him, the Hon. this subaltern the Hon. Gentleman
Hon. not as yet Right Hon. Gentleman turned over
say rather turned down this low and irksome business.
Through his ears did the Honourable Gentleman hear of it
lest his own should be soiled by it. After all Mr Pitt
would not hear of it from but through him under those circumstances. In what sort
of temper the business found him and what sort of temper
the unfortunate individual had thereupon to deal encounter, may
be imagined. But now Become Right Honourable the
Honourable Gentleman now has his revenge. To the very
individual by whom those laws are paining, how
often has the Honorable Gentleman's astonishment that
any person who could keep himself out of such a situation
as that in question could think of soliciting it, or so much as accepting it,
been expressed.
