Panopt. To Ld Pelham
That there might be no mistake, I reported this in a
letter to Mr Long, adding that, after such a communication,
silence in default of an answer would
be equally instructive. No answer came. – This
silence had not the shadow of a pretence. On his part there had
been indeed the habit of leaving letters unactioned –
and of eluding audiences shrinking from conversations: but from me he had
never either heard or read or heard an angry word
a word in which it was possible to find matter
of offence. – He has a peevish way with him, which I
suppose in his command enough over himself when it is work
of offences which to measure it, to keep from being troublesome
to his superiors of others from when he has sufficient to keep
face with, but which persons who have had the of standing
in the same double-dealing situation with relation to him must I have done.
This duplicity had nothing new in it: it
was but playing the old game. For above near a
after it had been determined to
take from me the original promised and legally appropriated
spot at Battersea Rise, the whole business
went travelled on its course through the offices. Treasury
indeed. Mr Long amusing himself with
my exertion in putting my shoulders to the
wheel while he, as often as was necessary
kept applying drugs to it. Mr Long for example
could not steal take time from his pleasures to bestow
upon this part of his business. An utter stranger Mr Ford now Sir Richard Ford,
an utter stranger, was to be called in to unsettle
the contract from the terms on which it had been
officially settled with Mr Nepean. He was
to learn the whole business de novo, one at for this
useless purpose. When all this was done, by a
gentleman who had no powers for every thing, the matter stood of course, just as if nothing at all had been done.
Mr Long was then to go through it from beginning
to end, which was performed by an expression
of unprovoked peevishness let fly at every chance.
