A Jury would settle all this in the regular way, and
ease every body of all responsibility and all trouble.
But if such should be the pleasure of them on whom
the choice depends, I had infinitely rather have the land estimated
at what to me appears an exaggerated and make
an allowance according to such estimate, than be sent
at this late period in quest of land equally proper
and convenient for both parties all purposes which after by a long
and most diligent research I am satisfied is not to be
found. With a map in my hand I could follow
the whole course of the river and point out the reasons
which put a negative upon this and that, and so upon
every other place. I would do so, if so ordered; but
had I done so without to have done so without orders would have employd a
quantity of paper too so great to have any chance as to destroy all hope of its
being read. Difficult as it is to prove a negative of this sort, it
must be equally proportionably troublesome to hear follow the proof of it.
Understanding, too, that your mem recollection
wants some refreshment with regard to the reasons
for adhering to the existing choice I take the liberty of
inclosing a printed paper which I as being
less troublesome to read than a written extract from
the too long discarded Memorial. Should it in point of form be deemed necessary
(which I hope will should hope would not be the case) to give in any any addition
further reasons by way of supplement to the Memorial
actually given in, I know not how to I could avoid
troubling you, Sir, for an intimation (though the
briefest possible would be sufficient) of the points to
which such for it were your pleasure that such further
reasons additions should apply. Should it be deemed proper for in point of form
to give in any part of the contents by way of supplement
to the Memorial already given in, a stroke of the pen the appoint
It is with inexpressible satisfaction that I now understand that there either no difficulties ever have either have been or existed or were at least was excistion but what are the a supposed increase of value on the part of the land: and in regard tot his part of the offer contained subjoined to the inclosed paper will of themself be will of flatter myself be of itself sufficient to supersede the neessity of any further elucidations.
