,, previous Authority from His Majesty to make them

,, a distinct proposal, I could neither be authorised to ,, state, nor could in fact expect to know what would ,, be their determination upon it,, Having stated thus much on these points, I have only now to express my strong wish that if you should have thought or should think proper (as I imagine must unavoidably be the case) to lay before His Majesty an account of what has passed on this occasion, you may think it right also to submit to Him, both this Letter and my former of the 15th. If you should feel any objection to doing so, I hope in that case you will have the goodness to apprise me, that I may -- consider in what other mode I may endeavour most respectfully to bring under His Majesty's observation what I am anxious should be considered as containing my view of the transaction. I am Sign'd W. Pitt

Right Hon. Henry Addington
