12. Apology
for delay
I hope I have not been the means of detaining
you. I could have given you nearly the equivalent
of all this the day after I saw you. But I
wrote it entirely over again to put it in a clear
shape, and beside that then I have had to copy it: You [+]
[+] besides that
there was a
good deal to
be decided before
any thing could
be written. Two
Two great establishments
suspended, as you
were pleased to say
on my account
cry aloud for
every exertion
I am capable
of
perceive I hope that you have to do with a man
who when he underta takes a business in hand does
not trifle with it. The zeal you were pleased to
express in the business is contagious and has a full
right to be seconded.
I had rather not have found It was with reluctance I <add>The only unpleasing part of this business <add>it is the finding</add></add> myself obliged to mention
money, inconsiderable as the matter <add>amount is,</add> after the scenes of peculation you were
mentioning speaking of to me, carried on by persons who of whom many antecedently to experience must have had claims to
confidence equal at least to any I can pretend to.
