under the necessity of returning such an answer
to your letter, for, if the belief that I am a real
Friend to the project was the motive of Mr Long and
you agreeing to transmit your ideas to me (from
whom the business has now officially passed) you
certainly was not mistaken, I profess myself
an admirer of its ingenuity and enthusiastick
in the belief that it may be turned to great
national benefit, but to accomplish that purpose
