J.B. to Mora

I wish the probability of his finding himself in circumstances to warrant his acceding to this plan were
in my eyes as great as that of its finding acceptance at the hands
of your Government. I mention this, as you ha It is not,
you see plainly, to enhance the terms that I bring
this uncertainty to view, but to obviate disappointment, and
save myself from the imputation of trifling with men in office
and drawing upon their time and attention to no purpose.
The main difficulties are those which regard in the first place his health, in the next place his own privilege
in which almost the whole or thereabouts of his ready money with the exception of what he reserves for stocking and improvements,
has been expended: Of The care of those works which admitt of no postponement
he would have to leave to his only Son, a youth
about twenty: and three young daughters: the eldest a unmarried
young woman of about 22 or 23 married to a Frenchman
a Marquis de Chesnel, Lieutenant Colonel now or lately
Commandant of the troops at Toulouse, but a present being
(I mean my niece) with her father at Montpellier and
having at her breast a female child a few months old: this
and two unmarried daughters – one about 18, the other about
16.

Superintending the united naval concerns of Spain and
Portugal after superintending, and with such effects as you
will see, the do of Great Britain England would be like setting up
a School as Dy Dionysus did after having been tyrant of
what was the place? Syracuse I believe. But in England
he was driven out of the service by ill usage: whereas in Spain
and Portugal visiting those countries upon such terms he would
be received with kindness: and the reception that sort of treatment that he would naturally
receive would afford him a sort of principle afford him over the
children of corruption in his own country afford him a
sort of triumph, such as a man in his situation need not be ashamed of.
