1823 Jan¼y 28 Trip. H. to Q.A. ?.7. U.S. their inducements

?.7. United States © their expected inducements for concurrence.

As to the inducements /considerations/ by which on this occasion, the

determination may be given to the course taken on the part of Your Executive, in

respect of acceptance or rejection, to have any thing like full knowledge of

them, as well as to give them any thing like their due weight, belongs it is

true to yourselves alone: yet neither does it seem to me altogether impossible

but that in this or that particular instance it may happen to me to place this

or that consideration in a point of view in which it might not otherwise have

presented itself. At any rate, any thing in this way may assist in preserving

this proposal from the imputation of being an altogether inconsiderate one,

destitute upon the face of it of all claim to attention, and of all chance of

obtaining its object.
