After H4
§ 11 Armed Memorial & its consequences

there was one horn of a dilemma ready for me –
Even the same terms might have been pronounced
either too high or too low, as gentlemen had
happened to be in a humour. If Too high
they were exorbitant: if too low they were unfulfillable
– and in either case rejection was
came of course. As to all verbal explanation
that had been peremptorily refused me, as
Your Lordship has seen already: because the consequence of in such a case (it would have
been impossible to treat all terms high and
low as equally inadmissible) for Mr Long,
after saying what he would not allow of,
could seriously avoid saying at the same
time what he would allow of. In a word
he could not, with any without pulling off the
mask entirely, put a negative upon those
terms which were the already extant in black
and white and in print – printed by the
Committee of Finance – as the terms which the
Treasury had already consented to for several
years past, and that draught of Contract
which they themselves had passed through
the Law Offices.⊞ ⊞ What is more, so far as the
rise in the of prices nominal figure was necessary to
maintain the identity of the real
ones, Mr Long had over and
over again recognized the indisputable
justice & necessity of
the principle, as Mr Nepean had
repeatedly informed me.

What course I took for extracting myself
from this dilemma, Your Lordship will see in
the Unarmed Memorial which I was thus
forced from me. Instead of saying
what I therein say is —"

This conversation passed in the space that lies between the Treasury and the
Admiralty, immediately in the breaking up of the quadro-partite
conference at Mr Long's. Leaving Mr Long & Mr White together
I attached myself to Mr Nepean, and sustained that opportunity of
making petitioning for the instructions in respe for the performance of the exercise
he had set me.
