and burthensome to him, has been but one out
a variety of businesses which have been theafforded
matter for subjects of a correspondence which has been

advantage has been uniformly and exclusively
your own: the burthen and even the expence
as uniformly his. I have your letters before me in
files: the very posting of them is become an object.
In short during all this while you seem to have
been compleat master of his time and on more

You, a man of immense wealth, sole proprietor
of a silver mine worth 256,000, or of
the money that has beenrealised by what has been sold from it: the sale of it: he, a

you: involved all the while in the difficulties which
