Wise's affair
Letter to Long,
charging him with
duplicity — his
silence

That there might be no mistake, I reported this in a
letter to Mr Long, adding that, after such a communication,
silence in default of an answer would
be equally instructive. No answer came. — [+] I sent before this
a copy to Mr Nepean,
desiring with a
request that he would
him to stop the
communication, if
he saw any thing
improper in it. This
silence had not the shadow of a pretence. On his part there had
been indeed the habit of leaving letters unactioned —
and of eluding audiences shrinking from conversations: but from me he had
never either heard or read or heard an angry word
a word at in which it was possible to find matter
of offence. — He has a peevish way with him, which I
suppose in his command enough over himself when it is worth his
of offences while to exercise it, to keep from being troublesome
to his superiors or others from when he has sufficient motive to keep
face with, but which persons who have had the misfortune of standing
in the same situation with relation to him that I have done. who have
have been fellow sufferers
from this
peevishness I had
had abundant
experience of, but
from me it had
never received the
smallest provocation.
It arose solely from
the consideration of<lb?>the immoral/ disgraceful and
proplicity part he
had to act towards
me.

8. Long's duplicity
in the case of
Ld Spencer

This duplicity double-dealinghad nothing new in it: it
was but playing the old game. For above near a
twelvemonth after it had been determined to
take from me the original promised and legally appropriated
spot at Battersea Rise, the whole business
went travelled on its course through the offices. Treasury
indeed. Mr Long amusing himself with

my exertion in putting my shoulders to the
wheel while he, as often as was necessary
kept applying drags to it. Mr Long for example
could not steal take time from his pleasures to bestow
upon this part of his business. An utter stranger Mr Ford now Sir Richard Ford,
an utter stranger, was to be called in to unsettle
the contract from the terms on which it had been
officially settled with Mr Nepean. He was

to learn the whole business de novo, one at for this
useless purpose. When all this was done, by a
man gentleman who had no powers for any thing, the matter stood of course, just as if nothing at all had been done.
Mr Long was then to go through it from beginning
to end, which was performed by an expression
of unprovoked peevishness let fly at every chance.
