Treasuryship of the Navy, in addition to the burthen
of the Chairmanship of the Board of Controul,
take up the still heavier burthen of the
Secretary-ship of State. He has seen you at the
same time that you were taking up the latter
burthen refusing the Salary that stood annexed
to it. Yet with submission to Mr Nepean,
who to be sure has better opportunities of judging
than I can boast of, with submission, I say, to
Mr Nepean, I will notwithstanding be bold
enough to maintain, though at my humble distance,
that your, Sir, were then, & are still, (for
if you are not I do't know who is)in your sober
senses.
As to the disposal of the proposed indemnification
money, to be sure it does not belong to me to
decide, but if the opinion of so obscure an individual
may venture to peep forth, it is my humble
apprehension that at a time like the present some
more necessary a use than the giving it out in
indemnifications for voluntary damage, might
be found for it. But if I am wrong in this, and
money must at any rate be given to quiet
matters, the persons on whom it might be bestowed,
I should conceive, with most economy as well
as propriety, are,
not myself who are so perfectly
contented
