Meantime, (I know not exactly from what source) an idea has found its way to my mind —
Meantime, an intelligence apprehension/ that afflicts me not a little is —
that if an a sort of impression which has been thought that I ought to
give in to, so far at least as may be in my power, an Account
of my expenditure; and that by the magnitude of the sum
the expenditure of which I shall have proved, the sum allowed
to me will be encreased

In answer to this My answer to this is — — Three distinct grounds for
compensation, each capable of being added or not added to
the others now plainly distinguished: viz 1. Loss by expenditure,
2. Loss by of the benefit of that would have been derived from my
Brothers inventions independently of the Contract. 3. Loss and
damage by nonfulfilment of the Contract — Or i.e. of the profit
that would have been reaped from it.

In respect of the first as well as second of these grounds
it really did seem to me that the sacrifice it was quite was qu sufficient
I mean the sacrifice of whatsoever I might be entitled to, on
each of those two distinct grounds: and that be in preference to a
ground so clearly established in the first third has been, this first ground should
be re against my will be resorted to; as if it were for no
other reason that because though but too well assured of the
existence of the whole of that expenditure I was equally assured of my being
unable to adduce to satisfactory of any such proof as I could
hope to find satisfactory of more than an unknown and
unliquidated part of it. Now, why it is that on account
of my making a voluntary sacrifice of whatsoever has been under the Act
declared could be due to me on the one score, I should be
deprived of any part of what has been proved due to me
on the sec another score, is more I confess than I am able to conceive.

For any such exception what foundation is there on point
of reason? What on point of procedure. Contracts Without any
the least previous disbursement or stipulation or talk of disbursement on the part of the individual
Contracts are entered into by and with Government every day.

I know not exactly which can not but
from who be in the a very high
degree alarming to me,
that a conception
has been entertained
that it is incumbent
on me to give in a Statement
and proof of my expenditure:
and that some
how either The con in my
performance of this task
the sum that might
be awarded to me on
the only ground on
which I view not my
claim is to depend.
Should this apprehension
of mine prove happily
ill grounded, the remainder
of this
(I have dismissed
it to another paper)
need not be read.

Leave
to above altogether
if the arbitrators
consider themselves
as warranted
as I cannot
but conceive
the evidence
adduced will
bear them out
in doing, in
awarding me
a compensation.
