Panopt
To Long
26 Sept. 1794
exactly what I want wish to know. Either your instructions
are already determinate on that head, and
then you can inform me already: or if not, you
can if you see no impropriety, oblige me so
far as to ask for such determinate instructions, and
then inform me. Surely dependent as I
am altogether upon the pleasure of Administration
there can be no impropriety in
my wishing or asking to know that pleasure?
And to what purpose should they <add>wish for a moment to conceal it?
I will take the liberty of waiting on you
on Tuesday, or if you command me for Monday
so much the better. By that time you may perhaps
be able to give me the answer above requested
or at least about the Surveyors. I
do not ask for a written answer to every
thing, it would in point of labour be too
much for me to request. But in conversation
whatever may seem material enough to
be retained you will I hope allow me shall request permission
to take memorandums of in your presence
to guard against save me from those any of more
misconceptions in addition to those which it has been my
misfortune to fall into already and which
I certainly will not fall into again if it be
possible for me to avoid it
