I have to see you does not make me imagine advantages
which otherwise would not appear to exist.
What you say to me under the title NEW MINE LAW hurt me not a

better proofs of it. I told you nothing on that any more than on any
other subject but what was in my opinion perfectly true. As to your being
ashamed of the light I appeared in in that respect as a political aeconomist
were I to write a dissertation on that subject expressly, I should consider the
Law in question as you have done. The manner in which the law acts so as
to have determined me against that project depends upon circumstances which
at that time I could not bear to think of being subject to but which perhaps
if I were to live another year or two in this country I should have less aversion to.
