outstay that term any time to signify I will contrive to let you have
a copy.
The observation made in your second letter with relation to Sam's
throwing out to me the idea of engaging Mosberry
admitts of a very
satisfactory answer: the letter though addressed to me, was written for
Lord Shelburne: nor would was there to be any question about Mosberry's
going, but upon the condition of his being sent on the account and
in the pay of government; which might very well have taken place
if necessary, as Sam proposed without his knowing who the money came from. This consideration
of the letters being an ostensible one, it will be necessary to bear in
mind throughout, in order to put a right construction upon several
passages in his letter it: but all these are matters that will very
well wait for our discussion till we meet.
As to the question concerning the personality of his great friend
whom he has it in his choice to close with, my inference concerning
Dimidoff was drawn principally from the very passage from which you drew the
contrary one. I could not very well imagine to whom the epithet
of the greatest proprietor in the whole Empire could well belong to
unless it were to a man who in his life could afford to spend £150,000
