[the] embarrassment that has attended this business from the first movement of it, to the present hour, has rested on my shoulders and been conducted with an exertion on my part, which nothing but its prospects of emoluments for you and myself would have induced me to persevere." Further discusses finances and property deals, mentioning Royal Flint, Nathan Jones, and Madame de Leval. In closing, writes, "this business cannot be carried on with promises... Post after Post I attend at the Office & return disappointed & mortified." |
