he would stand exposed to in this way presents a fair claim to
an allowance on that score: tho', as to the quantum or even the
proportion of that allowance that, as before, I wave the considerations
of, as being a question foreign to my competence.
On this head I make no doubt of your recommending to his
consideration, a caution, of which were it only on the score of prudence
(not to speak of probity) persons in his situation are apt to stand in
need of: — and that is not to manufacture damage — not even to
sit with hands across to wait for it in hope of compensation: for the
damage will be certain: the compensation far from certain: farther
— (I speak not without experience) — than, in a case where Government
is a party, people at a distance would be apt to imagine -
I am &c.—
