4 J. B. for Henderson to Gullet
to your own letters, in which you so earnestly &
repeatedly urge him to exert himself, in convinced
as you declare yourself that the common expedient
of advertising would in this case be much more
likely to prejudice the sale than to promote it.
Of the interest which he has always taken in zeal with which he has prosecuted this business
I myself as it happens have had frequent occasional more occasion than I would have wished to be a witness.
It has been so much uppermost in his thoughts and
conversation, that till very lately when I made
him explain it to me, I had no dou it never
entered into my head that it had been any body's
but his own. "Did I know of any body whom
"I thought would be likely to be disposed to lay out his
"money in such a way?" — a fine "so fine an opportunity
"so advantageous a purchase, might never happen
"again" — No, — no — was always my answer, and
still this topic was so often dragged upon the
carpet, to the exclusion of others projects that that were
were interestinged to me more and that were really
his own, that I have sometimes been almost out of humour
with him.
