I told you I stood engaged to give a Postscript
to a new edition of the Defence of Usury, on the
subject of the Reduction plan, I mean to do it as
drily and concisely as possible. Could you favour
me in half a dozen words with the points you still
rest it upon? It would save me a world of paper
in beating about for shadows. Of course I should
neither mention you nor allude to you as having
sent it me. I would send it you before it was
printed, if you thought it worth your while to
look at it. If it were my good fortune to convince
you, it might be by arguments which I have not
seen treated touched upon in the debates, and which would
apply to abundance of measures besides this.
I have the honour to be
with the truest respect, Sir,
Your most obed.t hble Serv:t
