<p><del>I did</del> What I <del>would</del><lb/> | |||
expected was not that<lb/> | |||
he should read them<lb/> | |||
but that for his own<lb/> | |||
sake he would appear<lb/> | |||
to read them: but any<lb/> | |||
<del>such</del> thing you say, <del>you<lb/> | |||
<gap/> <gap/> <gap/><lb/> | |||
was for sanguine.</del></p> | |||
<p>Throughout the whole<lb/> | |||
of the business, from<lb/> | |||
the time that the <add><unclear>forgery</unclear></add> first<lb/> | |||
of clandestine opposition<lb/> | |||
<del>finger</del> was help up<lb/> | |||
by the first Lord, the<lb/> | |||
general rule has been<lb/> | |||
to give <add><del>or keep</del></add> nothing but<lb/> | |||
hopes, and these hopes<lb/> | |||
false <del>hopes</del> <add>ones</add>. Witness<lb/> | |||
one <del>instance sort</del> <add>sample instead</add> of<lb/> | |||
a thousand – the <del>date<lb/> | |||
of letter ordering an</del> <add>official orders to</add> | |||
<del><gap/></del> <add>make preparations</add> for 2000<lb/> | |||
convicts. 24 Mar. 1800<lb/> | |||
in a letter concerted<lb/> | |||
for the express purpose<lb/> | |||
of making a pretence<lb/> | |||
for giving none.</p> | |||
<p>This rule of the<lb/> | |||
noble Lord continues<lb/> | |||
in the instruments<lb/> | |||
now professed <add><del>indeed</del> for <gap/></add> as being<lb/> | |||
it seems for <gap/> to be<lb/> | |||
be <del><gap/> wish</del> <add>departed from</add>:<lb/> | |||
departed from<lb/> | |||
but only pro <gap/><lb/> | |||
one – not the jure but<lb/> | |||
<del><gap/></del> <add><gap/></add> in consideration<lb/> | |||
of the particular circumstances<lb/> | |||
of the case. I mean provided<lb/> | |||
his Lordship tintinues<lb/> | |||
in the <gap/> now</p> | |||
<p>If I understand the<lb/> | |||
matter right, the<lb/> | |||
giving of false hopes<lb/> | |||
is a general rule<lb/> | |||
<add>which</add> with his<lb/> | |||
Lordship – <add>either</add> a rule<lb/> | |||
<del>order</del> made by him or<lb/> | |||
<del>whether made by<lb/> | |||
him</del> a rule which<lb/> | |||
he found established –<lb/> | |||
but a rule which<lb/> | |||
is supposed to admitt<lb/> | |||
of a particular<lb/> | |||
exception, favour<lb/> | |||
<add>consideration</add> of the particular circumstances<lb/> | |||
of this case<lb/> | |||
professed: an expectation<lb/> | |||
in which <del>experience</del> <add>in this <del>latter</del> way</add> of<lb/> | |||
<del><add><gap/><gap/></add> will not <gap/> to<lb/> | |||
very <gap/></del> forbids<lb/> | |||
one to indulge himself.<lb/> | |||
I will tell you what<lb/> | |||
their plan is – <del><gap/></del> <add>and <unclear>where</unclear></add><lb/> | |||
any chance, and <del><gap/></del> it depends upon<lb/> | |||
whether it can content<lb/> | |||
me.</p> | |||
<pb/> | |||
<p>P.S. In his medical<lb/> | |||
capacity, his<lb/> | |||
Lordship has given<lb/> | |||
himself more work<lb/> | |||
to do than he seems<lb/> | |||
to be aware of. He<lb/> | |||
has not only my <add>the</add><lb/> | |||
mind <add>of your honorable Servant</add> to cure,<lb/> | |||
but that of some<lb/> | |||
learned minds which<lb/> | |||
not only go about<lb/> | |||
without a Keeper<lb/> | |||
but would be caught<lb/> | |||
at with great<lb/> | |||
eagerness by his<lb/> | |||
Lordships Attorney<lb/> | |||
if he was unfortunate<lb/> | |||
enough to stand in<lb/> | |||
need of their assistance.<lb/> | |||
It is not only the<lb/> | |||
crazy <hi rend="underline">quondam</hi><lb/> | |||
lawyer – but some <add>a most</add><lb/> | |||
perfectly sober as<lb/> | |||
well as most eminently<lb/> | |||
learned<lb/> | |||
lawyer (I speak<lb/> | |||
as yet but in the<lb/> | |||
singular) that has<lb/> | |||
pronounced his Lordship<lb/> | |||
with a numerous<lb/> | |||
tribe of<lb/> | |||
his friends punishable <add>and in the severest degree short of death</add> not only<lb/> | |||
in Parliament (where)<lb/> | |||
they are at term<lb/> | |||
but in a place<lb/> | |||
where justice is<lb/> | |||
at home – a<lb/> | |||
common Court of<lb/> | |||
justice.</p> | |||
<pb/> | |||
<p>To<lb/> | |||
You, my dear<lb/> | |||
Sir, who though<lb/> | |||
a legislator, (and a<lb/> | |||
legislator to whom<lb/> | |||
in that capacity<lb/> | |||
<add>this country</add> has <del>very</del> <add>the most</add> substantial<lb/> | |||
as well as<lb/> | |||
<gap/> obligation) | |||
<del>do not</del> have no<lb/> | |||
such ambition as<lb/> | |||
that of <del>calling yourself</del> <add>being <del>called</del></add><lb/> | |||
<del>a</del> <add><gap/> <gap/></add> lawyer,<lb/> | |||
<add>to you</add> I spare my such<lb/> | |||
unpleasant confidence.<lb/> | |||
If they<lb/> | |||
hear of their danger<lb/> | |||
before they hear of<lb/> | |||
it from Westminster<lb/> | |||
Hall, it will be through<lb/> | |||
the medium of a lawyer<lb/> | |||
<unclear>ban</unclear> <add>whence if they</add> they will<lb/> | |||
<del>be</del> <add>must hear of it they will</add> at once <add>be</add> ashamed<lb/> | |||
and glad to hear of<lb/> | |||
it.</p> | |||
<p>To assist your judgment<lb/> | |||
on the question<lb/> | |||
of comparative sanity<lb/> | |||
I will just<lb/> | |||
mention before<lb/> | |||
I release you, that<lb/> | |||
it depends upon<lb/> | |||
me at any time<lb/> | |||
by the mere disclosure<lb/> | |||
of a small<lb/> | |||
part of their folly<lb/> | |||
and their guilt<lb/> | |||
to set thier improved<lb/> | |||
Colony in a flame!<lb/> | |||
Rash and unfeeling<lb/> | |||
like them, were<lb/> | |||
I capable of being<lb/> | |||
so, <del><gap/></del> the courses<lb/> | |||
<add>they</add></p> | |||
<pb/> | |||
<p>they go on committing<lb/> | |||
in support<lb/> | |||
of their job,<lb/> | |||
<del>I might be led<lb/> | |||
to <gap/></del><lb/> | |||
I could still less<lb/> | |||
hesitate to produce<lb/> | |||
to the public, while<lb/> | |||
calling alound for<lb/> | |||
justice. <del>Were I<lb/> | |||
but <del><gap/></del></del> A word<lb/> | |||
from me, and<lb/> | |||
N.S. Wales would<lb/> | |||
be on fire. Theirs<lb/> | |||
being the hand by<lb/> | |||
which the combustible<lb/> | |||
matter has<lb/> | |||
been heaped up –<lb/> | |||
<add>they would be the</add> theirs would<lb/> | |||
be <add>none to answer for</add> the last of<lb/> | |||
<del>answering for it</del> <add>it to <gap/></add><lb/> | |||
not a hair of my<lb/> | |||
head could be<lb/> | |||
singed. From<lb/> | |||
Parliament alone<lb/> | |||
could any water<lb/> | |||
be thrown in to<lb/> | |||
<del>quench</del> stop the<lb/> | |||
conflagration.<lb/> | |||
Till Parliament<lb/> | |||
sets</p> | |||
<p><del>Though no vessels<lb/> | |||
were sent</del></p> | |||
<p>It depends upon<lb/> | |||
them to send vessels<lb/> | |||
or not to N.S. Wales<lb/> | |||
from home, but it<lb/> | |||
does <add>would</add> not depend upon<lb/> | |||
them to prevent vessels<lb/> | |||
from arriving<lb/> | |||
from North American<lb/> | |||
from Bengal or<lb/> | |||
other places with<lb/> | |||
the intelligence.</p> | |||
<p>it is on this consideration is is, that<lb/> | |||
Till Parliament<lb/> | |||
sits but no longer <add>not a<lb/> | |||
moment longer</add> I keep the secret<lb/> | |||
of their crimes.</p> | |||
<pb/> | |||
<p>Were I not more<lb/> | |||
careful to avoid<lb/> | |||
making a premature<lb/> | |||
disclosing <add>disclosure of</add> their <del><gap/></del><lb/> | |||
crimes <del>the <gap/></del> than<lb/> | |||
they have been to<lb/> | |||
avoid<del>ing</del> committing<lb/> | |||
them.</p> | |||

<p><del>I will tell you what<lb/> | |||
their plan is.</del> In the<lb/> | |||

the <unclear>feel</unclear> of your bag of<lb/> | |||

is impossible, then with<lb/> | |||
that in their hand they<lb/> | |||
froth at the feel (such<lb/> | |||
feel as adders have) of<lb/> | |||
the deaf adder. I mean<lb/> | |||
the<lb/> | |||
pious Lord, who is so<lb/> | |||
well known to take that<lb/> | |||
<gap/> of scripture history<lb/> | |||
for his model on<lb/> | |||
all occasions. Apprehension lost they<lb/> | |||
<add>should</add></p> | |||

Throughout the whole
of the business, from
the time that the forgery first

by the first Lord, the
general rule has been
to give or keep nothing but
hopes, and these hopes
false hopes ones. Witness

a thousand – the date
of letter ordering an official orders to
make preparations for 2000
convicts. 24 Mar. 1800
in a letter concerted
for the express purpose
of making a pretence
for giving none.

If I understand the
matter right, the
giving of false hopes
is a general rule

he found established –

is supposed to admitt

P.S. In his medical
capacity, his
Lordship has given
himself more work
to do than he seems
to be aware of. He
has not only my the
mind of your honorable Servant to cure,
but that of some
learned minds which
not only go about
without a Keeper
but would be caught
at with great
eagerness by his

It is not only the
crazy quondam
lawyer – but some a most

as yet but in the
singular) that has
pronounced his Lordship
with a numerous
tribe of
his friends punishable and in the severest degree short of death not only
in Parliament (where)
they are at term
