true: but I have now since I have been at home read
it through and what occurred to me in the way of
advice was to confine it entirely to the first nine pages
a supposing that it is that land and no other that will
be fixed on. The good effort of all the rest I think
must have been produced by Dundas & Long having
read it who knew and will but others know (if they are
at all disposed to hear) what strong arguments you have
in store. In this case I think I should in reading it so
reduced to Dundas, tell him you have complied with his advice
respecting the measure by leaving out all arguments about
the land, trusting that if he were to say however the stile
in which you had been induced to state the arguments in
favour of that land to the exclusion of any other they could
not but have appeared to him sufficiently strong.
But if you think it absolutely necessary to suppose they mean
to look for other land, and to the printed paper it
seem to afford matter enough in a single page to convince
where conviction is possible.
Do pray come immediately and let the delay be no longer at your .
