J.B. for Henderson to Gullet Lett. 2
The case is, your answer was hasty: it could
notscarce be otherwise, being so politely speedy, expeditious. so speedy and in that as
well as other respects so obliging polite. Occupied (as was natural enough, with
notions of the value of the one mine and
your wishes to prospect of realizing a part of the other
without you suffer'd before you had sufficientlyto slip in on the character
of conditions weighed the effect you two wishes which, couldif you
had had a little more time to reflect, would
not have made their appearance in that place
guise. You see the inconsistency thereyou would be
chargeable with if that upon That upon reconsideration,
you will were to persist in keeping them there,
candour and I am not to uncandid nor have
I so bad an opinion of you as to believe. To guardprovide<add>As prudence</add>
however will sometimes require us to<add>make</add>provision even against
contingencies which do not seem probable however against the words I thought it might to be amiss necessary
to give you to point out an opportunity of seeinging the inconsistencies
that would result from your persevering
in themsuch conditions & how much your cause would suffer by it
them.
I need say nothing to more to hasten you:
your former expedition is a pledge of future: and
a business of your's to which this is but a trifle is
paying every moment for the delay.
My first demand ins as I told it you it would
be my last: but as to Hail Newton, it seemspromising
it is not yet abandonedas it is, give us the £ - you have charged us
for it, and it is your own again and welcome. And to care and. I will sell it to you at that price, and to careyou
