Letter II
It must not only be a gain in economy but such a gain as shall
for the relation of justice good faith
is in the present.
Gentlemen may forget but really, Sir, it is not in
my power to forget that all this is a most
pointed and even acknowledged/evidence violation of good faith: that the scale of 1000 which
I am now so coolly called upon to see reduced join in reducing to
half, is a scale that was eighteen years acceded to eighteen years
ago, acted upon in both sides year after year for a long course of
years, stated as acceded to, stated as binding
as far as any thing can be binding on those whose station
is above law, stated in this way over and over again never
deceived by any of those who of it had not been true
were by every call of conscience and reputation
continually called upon to deny it.
formed an indisputable
part of the proposal.
Not for these |^^^|. years I who have now the honour thus to address you have stood upon
record; recognized from you the Board at which
you sit, and by the signature of those whose place seat
you occupy, in the number of the public Creditors
and that nothing but except the circumstances that
for the payment of this debt no special day had been was
fixt, there is nothing to save that Honourable Board forum
from the imputation, and that a just one, of having
committed an Act of Bankruptcy, as decided as
that which on the indication given of it made in the
House, comes out so much to the surprize, and not
a little to the perplexity, of the Right Honourable and
Honourable Gentlemen who then were sitting on it.
