Communal room
February 19, 1840
"My Dear Sir,
Upon receipt of your last letter, I addressed myself, as you suggested, to your father. I regret to inform you that I have not received a response from him. He was however aware of my agreement with Sir J. Mash, entirely favorable to my interests being now legally inoperative. Trusting his courtesy, I am anxious to close this deal. It is of the utmost importance that he does not imagine for a moment that I was making fun of him during the negotiations. I spoke mainly to save time and I really had no intention of carrying out my plans.
Today, about a week later, I received the attached paper from your brother, which I must say surprised me.
I have such confidence in you and in your father's lofty character that I cannot for a moment allow myself to suppose that he would laugh at me on such an important matter. He was otherwise entitled to decide on his own conduct as he deemed it proper. However, being fully aware of the position in which I now find myself regarding these amnesties, I do not want to believe that he adopted measures which, while allowing me to make unfounded anticipations, prevented me to act more effectively in other sectors.
I would be personally grateful if you could reply to me frankly by return mail.
Accept..."

(signed) B DISRAELI
