J.B. for Henderson to Gullet. Letter 2
Sir
I received yesterday you favour of the 23
I admire your politeness, I admire your patience;
and when two conditions are obliterated,
I shall admire your generosity. The one is
that he shall return you his 1/64 of Huch Newton:
the other is that he shall find you 5,000
guineas for the share for which you were glad
a year ago to take 4,000.
As to the share of Huch Newton, was it
a bargain, was it a gift? it shall be which
you please: though I believe there are not many
people who would fancy they had been giving
a thing by selling it for what it cost them. In
either way what pretence can there be for setting
it up in payment for a single farthing:
worth of his all his subsequent services? Did he accept
it as a recompense for past services, for
any one part service, m When you soldgave it
him, you thought since this is your waymode of giving,
you say you "thought it", as you are pleased to say "you
"still think itstill," a compensation whatever its future
"fate might be, for any services M<hi rend="superscript">r H could
"possibly do you in the space of 15 months." - My good
