A Jury would settle all this in the regular way, and
ease every body of all responsibility and all trouble.
But if such should be the pleasure of them on whom
the choice depends, I had infinitely rather have the land estimated
at what to me appears an exaggerated sum and make
an allowance according to such estimate, than be sent
at this late period in quest of land equally proper
and convenient for both parties all purposes which after by a long
and most diligent research I am satisfied is not to be
found. With a map in my hand I could follow
the whole course of the river and point out the reasons
which put a negative upon this and that, and so upon
every other place. I would do so, if so ordered; but
had I done so without to have done so without orders would have employd a
quantity of paper too so great to have any chance as to destroy all hope of its
being read. Difficult as it is to prove a negative of this sort, it
must be equally proportionably troublesome to hear follow the proof of it.
It is with inexpressible
satisfaction
that I now understand
that there either is
never have difficulties ever have been or
existed or were at least was exist
now but what concern
the a supposed
increase of
value on the part
of the land: and
in regard to this point,
the offer contained subjoined
to the inclosed paper
will of itself be will I flatter myself be found
of itself sufficient to supersede
the necessity of any
further elucidation.
