J.B. to Ld Spencer Not sent
Your Lordship in
In Figuring to yourself the idea of Representing to yourself an idea a scheme
of "real public utility obstructed by objections unnecessarily
"persisted in" on your Lordship's part your
Lordship is pleased to express that regret of the existence of which
in such a case it needed no assurances on your
without any such assurances in such circumstances nobody could not be entertain
be as dubious to any body a doubt problematical nobody could entertain
a doubt. This being the case In this view it may be proper
your Lordship should be apprised that the loss
to say nothing of the such parts of the utility of
the scheme as is are not of a pecuniary nature, but
if it be of any value at all of an importance value far
beyond pecuniary, the loss to the public in ha
in hard money only by the a years delay of it a year
would be £9,000: and the delay of a season £ should
it not amount to the delay of a whole year will would amount at
least to a great part of it.
Your Lordship's politeness if vanity does not deceive me goes so far as
even to attribute some something of merit to the projection of
such a scheme, and your sympathy for the author under the supposition of its ability, the sympathy which
the idea of the situation of the
author would in that case
naturally arise in
excite in
your Lordship's
breast
sympathy which your Lordship's goodness would in that naturally
case feel for the author suggests a regret at the idea of subjecting him
to the hypothetical danger of a penalty of
5,000. That danger as I set out with stating
to your Lordship is but imaginary, and the apprehension idea of its having been represented <add> meant to
of it as be stated as a possible one must have originated in my not having stated that part of the
case.
