§.10 Armed Memorial and its Consequences

Apr 21 1800. June 20 1800.

9 June 1800

To Mr Long himself, I do not impute any desire to bear
hard on me: (e) what I apprehend is, his being pressed, and my
being crushed, by his fears between Mr Pitt and Mr Rose.
Mr Long, with or without communication with Mr Pitt, may

that concession may be too explicit to be retracted, he may be
for making himself amends, upon other point that has ever yet come
before him, properly or improperly, has been uniformly misconceived
by him: and very unfortunately, his misconceptions
have been as uniformly to my prejudice. In some instances
he has allowed himself to hear me; and then, his errors,
being too gross to be defended, have been abandoned;
but always with as bad a grace as possible: when he has
