notable phrase
respect for those talents he possesses
supported much by good authority but in confidence
thought it incumbent on me officially and confidentially to mention it to you
they are my very good friends
presume to say anything on this Indian treaty even in a private letter for public servants are to be reliant upon public measures
he probably would have struck up a bargain
commissioned by me in this country not only from the recommendation of the governor and the high confidence placed in him
deemed proper policy
influence is very considerable amongst the Indians
