Saying "You know the grounds, and I do not. Your Judgement [sic] therefore must be absolute upon this occasion; and if this Scroll fails in the slightest Degree to answer your View, make it what you would have it, and send me the alterations. The ground is very ticklish; I wish I were well off it."
