This paper was received and no objections made
with regard to the Land - The Bill I had drawn
was pronounced too long for this present purpose,
and I was directed throught Mr Nepear
to propose a short one confined altogether to the
purpose of obtaining the land meaning of course that
land for no other was even offered to me, nor any
objections made to that choice.
Were the whatever may have been the impropriety
of my stile I humbly hope it will not have the effect
of depriving me of two things of which I stand not or
may stand in need: one is should the matter of fact
above mentioned be disputed the benefit of your evidence.
The other is that on the supposition that any engagement
was entered into with me by two persons members of the Administration yourself
being one you will not deny me the benefit
of your assistance toward carrying that engagement
into effect. The reason of this my humble request
is that in a parenthesis you are pleased to obvieate that
the business has now officially passed from you. I hope
this transition will not Were this the case, perilous indeed
would be the situation of one individual who should
think venture to enter into engagement with Administration.
