at it, this I shall know as soon as She come back
from her excursion to the borders of Sweden.
Some person or persons such as Anderson I certainly should
b much wish for if I engage with private people, but as
I can offer no terms nor be certain of any thing before
I know how I am to be engaged myself all you can
do is to take advantage of any opportunity which may
offer of informing yourself about such people.
In a letter I sent by the post I proposed to you your paying
me a visit incog: If you have no weighty reason
against it. I am persuaded we should both profit much <lb/<by it I should certainly ballast you at the same time
that you would assure me. Believe me that the longing
I have to see you does not make me imagine advantages
which otherwise would not appear to exist.

What you say to me under the title NEW MINE LAW hurt me not a
little Do not suspect me of purposely deceiving you till you have some
better proofs of it. I told you nothing on that any more than on any
other subject but what was in my opinion perfectly true. As to your being
ashamed of the light I appeared in in that respect as a political aeconomist
were I to write a dissertation on that subject expressly, I should consider the
Law in question as you have done. The manner in which the law acts so as
to have determined me against that project dpends upon circumstances which <lb/<>at that time I could not bear to think of being subject to but which perhaps
if I were to live another year or two in this country I should have less aversion to.
