A SS3 Belgrave
(a) To save a useless consumption of paper formal beginnings
and endings of letters are all omitted.-
Letters from me are to be supposed to be dated from my
house, Queen Square Place Westminster.-
(b) The contract between Treasury and myself for the
setting on foot the establishment according to the tenor of the
Draught printed in the 28th Report of the Committee of Finance.

(c) Leaving, on the Salisbury Estate, a carriage way by the
side of the Thames, in continuation of Milbank Street. The
effect would have been the making a communication, which
as yet does not exist, between Grosvenor House (Lord Belgrave's
residence) and the rest of the Grosvenor Estate. Extent of the
road (according to the Surveyor General's Report) a full half

however altogether uncertain and unascertainable to me)
would stand no chance of being read. To all other tasks, was
therefore added, that of framing a stile on purpose, to be cut
out of the measure - the inaccessible measure - of Mr Long's
patience.- I had not, as yet, compleatly understood - though

an anxious design, under the cover of apparent carelessness,
and conspicuous indolence. It had already become a part-
and that an indispensible one - of Mr Long's plan that all
