J. B. to Sec. Peel
and freedom, I could clasp to my bosom, see my doors still closed: shough my inaccessibility has been made as notorious as without advertisement it could be, men from various countries on hovering still hover about those same unwillingly closed doors.
The case is that in this man has been fulfilled a wish, which, but for him, could never have to hope. By Horne Tooke I saw done all that I felt myself not prepared to do, and but for more useful pursuits should have endeavoured to do, for universal Grammar. By Mr. Humphreys I have seen done, and better than I could have done, the only thing that I have not felt prepared to do, for universal legislation. Here, sir, you see at once the cause, and with it the sincerity, of the sentiments above declared.
yourself, for Taking him in hand, if on any ground I was were capable of being an object of fear, on this ground you would have nothing to fear from me. His endeavours will would of course be limited by your support: my assistance by his endeavours.
