A Notes
SS 3 Belgrave
Monday April the 8th, Mr Long not at office: a very frequent
incident: Monday, a rare day with him.
As to the "contract" mentioned in my above mentioned Letter
to Mr Long, together with his "supplemented article" O need
scarce observe to your Lordship, that there was an end to it,
& every thing belonging to it.-
In another section (SS.8.) I shall have occasion to enter
more particularly into the details of the above mentioned
forced interview, in which the rupture of all intercourse with

and changed it. The very mention of the subject
was an accusation of perfidy, his silence was a confession
of it.-
I impressed soon afterwards upon Mr Nepean that this
was the real stumbling block: I used my endeavours over
and over again though that channel to obtain an acknowledgement of
