carried on by persons of whom many antecedently to
experience must have had claims to confidence equal
at least to any I can pretend to. Accounts minute,
distant, frequent & public with a readiness to give
reasons for every thing, to answer all sorts of interogatories,

you cannot flatter more than by concerting with me the
means of reducing confidence to its minimum, and
putting it in the most effectual manner out of my power
to do wrong. The frankness of which your conversation
gave me such abundant, and such pleasing marks,
gives me hopes of your indulging my humour in this
respect. As to the money it is as you please but the Authority
you will perceive to be indispensible.
