itself might appear pure in English and even in the
french edition as published in other countries.
Made in the manner above mentioned suitable to this country
it might be published here free of all expence by
Princess Dashkoff's order immediate power. Besides all
I could appear myself as the Editor of the french edition
published here, which would gain one credit and save
you that independency of character in England which I hope
you will never be deviate from. If you can make
the Americans adopt in some degree your ideas you
will then Shine most nobly, but could you have the
most flattering offers here, I should oppose your accepting
them with all my might. I may sell my independence
in a great degree and in more ways than one, and that I
hope may serve for us both.
To be sure were you here just
now to we might cook up several things which would advance
my interest accordingly. Without you, Love, indecision, and if you will
have it indolence so render me very little able to profit of the
favorable opportunities which present themselves. The friends I have now
may shortly be unable or unwilling to serve me. This certainly is the crisis
of my fate good or bad fortune in this country.
