J.B. for Henderson to Gullet

Seeing what service had been, and what
the recompense, I could not help suspecting, I should
rather say taking for granted, that he had been
there had been an ancient friendship betwixt you
and him, or that he had been in in some way or
other most particularly obliged to you under most particular obligations to you. No—no
such thing: his acquaintance with you commenced
it seems less than fourteen months ago through that very
Mr Blair: nor can I find the least trace of
any sort of favour done him, unless by the honour
of your correspondence. The revenue I thus
find upon counting the your letters have been is has been obliged
to you for about 13 or 14 shillings: as a British
subject he enjoys his share of that part of the revenue:
but as the charge of it has been all his own,
I do not think he does not seem upon the whole to owe you
any great matter on that score.

To deal candidly with you, if any body asked
me what for was my real opinion of your conduct
and how I thought it was to be accounted for,
I should say that it proceeded, from inadvertance
at least it may, for aught I know, have
proceeded, from inadvertence and nothing else. The
agency for the Mine-share you may have taken
for granted was fully paid for by Mr Blair, the
purchaser: the other matters and the letters
