D.L.P. 8 Aug, 1795
Sir
Permit me to state to you the light in which
I have all along understood the matter now in doubt.
should Mr Pitt, after calling to mind the interveningincidents if in the opinion of Mr Pitt, it can not
in justice to the public be understood in that light,
I submit to his decision without reserve.<
lb/>
The basis of my proposal was what I then understood
to be the price - for a thousand L27,000. Give me, said I, that price
for the first year, every year after I will do the business
at a reduced price [L12,000]. Expense of
building I take upon myself.
RequiringMrCampbel's price for one year, but
for one year only, what idea could I have that
my representations should be expected to account for a
single penny of it, any more than that MrCampbels
representations should account for the allowance made
to him? his for the price
received by him? What if I had required the same price for
half a dozen years, or all along for the whole term?
Could I suppose that I was to fare the worse for making
the abatement so much the sooner?
