Sir 1791.
Sent a fair draught of this with
great additions & alterations May 6th
by a Gray's Inn Porter.
On calling on friday last at my
friend Mr Brown's No 9 Bedford Row, I found
the Extremity Paper relative to the Settlements in New
South Wales for which I am indebted to your
obliging remembrance of me. How long it
had been lain there, or how it found its way
thither from Lincoln's Inn the to which place mentioned
it was directed, I had no opportunity of
learning, the family not being in town. Any
further communication that may be too bulky
for the post, I must by the favour of you
to transmit to me if too bulky for the post by one or other of the
Hendon Carriers who set off from the Bell
and the Bull in Holborn.
The establishment in question presents
a truly curious sense of absurdity imbecillity improvidence
and extravagance. The impossibility of success
stands demonstrated in every imaginable point of view is upon the very face of the
accounts in the most glaring colours: though
the inconveniences attending it are less instead
of greater than a priori there was reason to
expect, though the proofs of its ineligibility have
fallen short instead of going beyond reasonable rational expectation
have fallen short of it.
