J.B. for Henderson to Gullet

of getting persquisites which
of the project had even answer'd
the projector's sanguine
and most perfectly
groundless expectations, would
never have amounted to
half the money.

Back to p.15 A word or two about Hail Newton and I hope
I shall have done. You taken proprietor
chief, and I believe once the sole proprietor of this mine,
preach up to him the value of it: he, not having
time to examine into it proposes or consents,
I forget which, to take a share you of it, a 64th
off your hands: valuable as it is, such is your
friendship for him, you do not ask him more
than his share of the cost you have laid out
upon it; this cost this purchase money amounting to £11 1-7 1/2
he offers to pay you on the spot: you, out of
your generosity, will not suffer him.[+] So long as
[+] and thus you part.
At this time (April
2d the date of your
first letter to him) it
is worth a thousand
pound: it wants but
three months to be worth
three thousand. It goes
on, and so long as
Mr Henderson's services
go on, and so long as
there is a danger that
unless he had something
to amuse him he might
look for payment of them
you keep silence, and
the mine its value.
he is ing you labouring for youthe improving on its
value: but which<add></add> toit becomes worth a thousand pounds. His labours
