Q.S.P. 25 Feb. 1798
Sir
I owe you many thanks for the favour
of so long a letter, and for the advice contained
in it. What you speak of as new to you
I mean the expence I had born I suspected
might be so: and it was on that account I
thought it necessary to mention it. Perhaps it
may be equally new to you that a Contract
ready engrossed for signature (revised and approved
of consequently by the Crown Lawyers) lies
actually at the Treasury where it has lain for
by this time I believe I may say years.
It refers indeed in one place article to Battersea Rise:
the place originally fixed upon for the purpose
by the 12 Judges: in which place a slight an alteration
a word or two would consequently require to be altered in
the choice of a new place. It would not be
at all to be wondered at if the Act of Parliament
the Statute of the July 1794 were
equally new to you by which the sanction of Parliament
was given to the Contract plan – and
the faith of Parliament I may might say pledged to
me by name for my name was exhibited interwoven
with the plan is the foundation of it in the introductory
and to me highly at that time highly flattering
speech of Mr Dundas on a day in which it
is very likely you were not present.
