Secret Plan for rendering the purchase useless
Narrative

12 Jany 1802

§.2 Probandum

To render in some plans the purport, as well as in all places
the draft and object, of the following sheets intelligible,
it will be necessary for me to state thus early, as a
proposition to be proved indeed, but as a proposition
of which the proof will unhappily be but too incontestable,
that some time in the month of February 1799, at the latest, in consequence
of a promise made to Ld Belgrave by
Mr Long, or by somebody for Mr Long, or by Mr
