J.B. to the Hon: H. Dundas
Of a sum that part of the loss which respects the moral fruits
that might have been hoped for of this loss though in my own estimate so much greater I take no account, these
being open to dispute because not capable of being
exhibited in pounds shillings and pence.
As to the individual whose fate is involved in the depends upon the decision
business to the past and continuing distress of which
you are already apprized will be added by the 1st of
this month a much still more serious one.
The Building was and (if it ever comes into existence)
is to be the greatest principal of it of cast iron. One person
was willing to undertake it and has undertaken the work at £ 12: elsewhere I either
would not get it done have got it undertaken for at all, or not for less than £ 18
a ton: after putting off the man at £ 12 till he
would be put off no longer, I found myself obliged
either to close with him, or to pay half as much again
to somebody else without an equal chance of having such ever nice nice and
and perhaps not have it done fit for service after all.
<add>difficult work executed in a condition fit for service.
I chose the former course: several hundred pounds
worth have already been cast executed cast and received by for me at
London and may be some lying at Campbel and Whites
Wharf . . . . . . . . executed to the admiration of the best to my Brothers in perfect satisfaction, it
judges. A Bill has accordingly been drawn upon me
payable the 10th of this month: and others are on
the point of following it. I have not the money: even
for the first: and if under these circumstancesintimation of which
was given in general
terms months ago in my letter of ..
..... to
disgrace should fall on me, you
will judge you will judge, Sir I may venture to leave it to you, Sir, whether
I shall <add>may not have may
there will not be some very illustrious sharers partners in it.
it will fall on me alone.
You many also judge, Sir, whether even if I had not already
declared myself in such explicit terms, whether, if in such circumstances
and at the end of such a period and after such
an event or under the
existing impending danger of it it
would be a time for a man
it would be a tim for must be called upon

to me by somebody who has had the courage to look upon hold up his own device as a
