-tention will be to husband our interest & not lavish it upon
trifling objects — When you come to town there is no doubt but
you may be introduced to Jackson himself.

Lind is now drawing up a form of Government for our
E. India conquests — I called in upon him t'other day Wednesday morning to
talk with him about you — Soon afterwards he took up his
papers & began reading to me — I found he was going to
work about it like a horse in a mill — As fast as he
went on reading I shouted this objection & that objection of
t'other objection & was answered as often with a "that's true"
& down he clapped memorandums on them as a bit of paper. In conclusion
he said he would ask me to read over them regularly
with him one day next week & then we would shut
ourselves up together the whole day — I complied because
I thought it would be I might be of some use to the poor
devils in that part of the world, because it would give me
some pretensions on him which I might make use
of in your favour, & because it would make it necessary
for me to see some papers on that subject which I should
be glad to see. It seems to me that he would be glad
to do without me if he could, but that from the lessons
I gave him t'other day he thinks it would not be safe.
How this world is governed! Lind I take it understands something
more of the principles of legislation than Ld North,
