Lett. 3. J.B. to Ld Spencer Sheet on 1793-8-16

It is for want of information that your Lordship
has bought found it necessary is pleased to make that pause give that temporary refusal

Lordship gives that aspersion to compliance to which
it is impossible for any one to impute blame: [+]
It is for my
[+] and which your
Lordship does not
absolutely foreclude
me from hoping
to see retracted. May
I flatter myself that
the deficiency has
been now supplied?

What if what the information is
for which your Lordship waits for you do have not any your have not mentioned
so far as to mention. May I flatter myself that if the information it is of no
thought necessary is of that sort other than sort then that which
I have now supplied, and that that may be deemed
sufficient? Will not the knowledge now authentically
convey'd of the state in which the business is,
and of the length to which matters have gone, supersede
the use of looking out for any other?

After the perusal of the enclosed paper Your Lordship I think I may venture to promise myself
can will have no doubts about the spot. I think then
your Lordship will recognize that the only dwellings
that can be said in any sense material to the present purpose be said to be near are the
2 or three Cottages & the Public House the sign of the Falcon, kept by Death.. Of these
the rents can be but trifling but be they what they
may, I am perfectly ready to include them in the
purchase. [+] [+] The premises are
almost entirely
ins separated from
all other land by
roads, and what
is wanting to make
the separation perfect,
I am ready to
supply.
For the greatest part On the South and East side
where the rising ground is, they on which the buildings would
the be erected, they are bounded perfectly by the great road
from London to Wandsworth. On the West side they are
also perfectly bounded, (setting the Cottages out of the question)
by another road leading down from the Great road to the River.
On the East North they are bounded completely by the road which
runs parallel to the river, the Road from Battersea to Wandsworth, on the other side of which road
are the Distiller's and establishment and other houses: but from
these
