+ I 7 H 5 2 Doc 10 Deferred Memorial & its consequences

Apr 21 1800 June 10 1800
10 June 1800
The condemned Memorial appeared to you clear and
unexceptionable in every point: — you told me so, or it
would not have gone in. Mr Long would not so much as
acknowledge it to be a Memorial. If the prayer of it
was not intelligible, I am incapable of drawing up any
thing that shall be so: if he had turned to it, and told
me what he was disposed to accede to, and what not, I
should have some ground whereon to build a fresh Memorial:
now I have none.

You bid me take for granted that Mr Wise's pieces of land
were meant, both of them, to be given me. Mr Long did not
contradict this: but neither did he assent to it: the observations he had made were of a direct contrary tendency. —

Mr Long expressed plainly a disposition to get rid of Quere
the whole business altogether, upon the stale objection of the
unfitness of Lord Salisbury's in respect of dampness & — an
objection started by Mr Fordyce. (a) The objection was made & answered
by me, before the purchase: the purchase of the ground is
made, and now, the same objection is started again, as a reason
why the Ground, now it is purchased, should not be used.(b)
(b1) See Notes

Silence, to that single demand, of the sum necessary
for obtaining immediate possession of a part of the land, is
itself a verbal virtual negative to the whole business, for this year
at least. The land is Fill up and Mr Long does not choose
I should get possession of any part of it. The cause of the
non-obtainment of possession is avowedly imputed to me: (b) I
(b)See Notes offer to make proof, that it is in no respect my fault but
in every respect my misfortune: a direct refusal is given
to the hearing of my proofs. They make the difficulty, in
spite of my reasons & protestations: when made, they impute
it to me, & refuse to remove it! —
Mr Long's
