Sir
I fear, or I shouldor rather should hope the
subject of continental connection and commercial
preferences has not yet had the benefit
of your natural thought. The undated
paper do not if they fail of inducing on your part
a similar suspicion, they will at any rate will prove <add>serve to show <add>at least</add></add> that I am in
earnest. If you will read a quiet
give as a proof of my being in earnest
memorial from me on the subject, I will work
one. If you will then tell me which, if any
impression, it has made upon your mind, we
shall be quiet. There are enough who think with
me in this matter, and who, had I then been
at leisure, would have brought it on before now
in explanation it would have been attended plans where you would have attended to it.
I tell say to them, the persuading you out of
it is that of two improbable things, the
persuading you out of the system it is less improbable
and then forcing you from it, the former is the quietest & the
least improbable.
If the answer in the between this and
will be accepted as termed
I receive no answer or a negative one, any address
must be to the good people of this country
when I do not despair of convincing that the
dangers which threaten them present plans policies
abovementioned and attended with a danger much more
palpable imminent than any that was apprehended from the
proscribed E. India Bill : and [+] I shall of your
[+]without saying any thing
that I do not thinkendeavour not to let slip any fair of the advantages
where the cause offends me
