Chatham Novr 6th 1773.
Dear Brother
I shewed Burket your letter and he admires your impartial way of reasoning
very much but makes state still continues in his opinion persists in his determination
of seting it aside. The only objection he makes to your reasoning is that you
suppose other people to be as sensible as yourself, for instance he says if
the contractors and other supposed injured persons were men rea sensible
men they would be sensible of the justness of his procedings but
as few are especially those poor men who would be put out of the
(at least that kind of) employment, and as a mans happiness
is chiefly in his imagination. they would think themselves much injured
and therefore would be very unhappy but as I hope you
will come down soon I will not trouble you to answer or
myself to write any more arguments concerning this scheme of
Burkets, as there is no immediate necessity of having it solved
but as to his Fire escaping engine. I believe if you I or you press him
close he will send for it as he intends writing to Allen soon out
pure friendship to let him know that a Model of his will be spoiled
