concurring with the proposition of his putting
himself to any such trouble: and that, if it was
the decision of Administration to refuse the old
spot, I thought I could not be too early in begging

what was most true, that my resolution to that effect
was not the result of the whim or ill humour
of the moment, but of a long continued and
most deliberate reflection, grounded on reasons,
which I was ready to submitt to him at large.
It was thereupon that he gave it as his opinion
to which I saw no reason to withhold my acquiesence,
that you, Sir, were the person to whom any
such determination, as well as the reasons on which
it was grounded, would with most propriety be

It is for this purpose that I take the liberty
