He had these imposed

had been repeatedly dropt by Mr Long to Mr Nepean
and repeatedly conveyed by him to me. But as
to the Mr Long's having read the Memorial, it it was
what Mr Nepean expressed had his doubts
about to the last moment: which doubts, to he
had to the last moment, the moment immediately
preceding the conference, expressed to me. [+] [+] It is a pity the
Memorial could
not have been made
shorter: it is too
long for Mr Long.
I question much
whether he has ever
read it after all.
Such were among
his last words to me,
as we were journeying
together from the Ad
his Chamber at the
Admiralty to Mr
Long's at the Treasury.
Thus unwilling was he
to entertain, or at least
to appear to entertain
any suspicions to the
prejudice of the
of his official
relation.
Mr Longs
a reputation in the character of a man of business
had on this occasion stood him in good stead with
Mr Nepean: no degree of honest indolence no honest neglect that he
was not understood to be equal to: In this
there was no mistake: but the mistake, the mistake if any if he if
lay under any Mr Nepean was really under any mistake in the
occasion, was in supposing deceit and treachery
to be incompatible with neglect and indolence.
