imposing on me the task of giving in a fresh Memorial
stript of those properties, by which the former one was
rendered inapplicable to Mr Long's determined purpose.
These properties were – in his description of it, reduced
to two – the length of it – and the want of peremptoriness
in the regard to demands contained in it – draw
up a fresh memorial says he – and make it a short
one – it should aught not be longer than a sheet – comprizing
in that compass is the only chance you can
give yourself for Mr Long's considering it. As to the
other Memorial – though I transmitted it to him and
though we have several times talked about it – and though
I told you I thought he had read it – yet it is plain
to me at present, that he never has read it or will read
it. (So far Mr Nepean I suppose The case was, I am inclined to think that Mr Long himself had never been an intimation to that effect
to him as much as a necessary means of obtaining
the application in a form suited to his purpose.

Note

( ) Mr Long, I found what what Mr Nepean had
said to me on that head, had succeeded so far with
Mr Nepean, as either to impose upon him, or
to engage him to appear as if imposed upon, in
respect of the commentary that an unarmed Memorial

accordingly was afterwards fixed upon it at the sole
but sufficient reason for crushing the establishment
altogether.⊞

⊞ Be this as it may Mr Nepean, being deceived, and deceived by such a man as Mr Long – he possessed not in detail
a least part of the materials which my unfortunate innocence had nor with for forming a judgment on that
head. Mr Nepean's time being all along overlooked, and his health suffered in a more degree by the indispensable business of his own office at the utmost quantum
of time that could be spared for this business time of mine, was altogether insufficient for even the bare slightest discussion of
such collateral and inessential topics.

Be this as it may, Mr Nepean finding Mr Long immovably bent on the suppression of my application in its
