J.B. gave no
answer.
Reasons for his
return.
Such being the letter Your Lordship may
begin to feel some curiosity feel a curiosity perhaps to learn the
answer made to it. My Lord I made
no answer to it: and after a moment or two
of reflection, Your Lordship will not be much surprized.
1. The Letter writers
&c were all
out of office.
In the first place, who was there to answer?
to whom was the any answer to be addressed —
not in form I mean — but in substance.
The contriver — the writer of the letter — the
only individual perhaps who knew any
thing of the contents of the letter except
the Clerk who copied it — or remembered what
little might have been remembered by any body
of the transactions that had preceded it — Mr
Long in a word are gone. M One Secretary Mr Long gave the
other Secretary from the Chief Member Lord Chamber gave:
the Members Lords gave — one or two excepted
of their Lordships — whose information knowledge about the
business, when out of civility in curtesy it was now and
then asked for, used to be drawn inquired about from me. [+]
[+] and who Long
had taken care,
should I never
know any thing
about its matter.
He has suppressed
the Minutes that
were to reference this.
But why I made gave no answer to it will be
more fully seen after for Your Lordship has read
the Minutes.
In the next place, to what end should I
have answered it? A question this, the answer
to which will be the more fully understood, in from a
succeeding section, after when Your Lordship has read the
Minutes.
