MIDDLE TEMPLE, LONDON.

21st May, 1796.

My dear Hardcastle

I have considered again our conversation when last we spoke. I would again like to express my thanks for your diligence and good work thus far. You have fulfilled all my expectations of you, in exemplary fashion. And I must say, it was a real pleasure to see that fine mind of yours in action once again!

However, reluctant though I am to admit it, the time has come to make an end. We have worked hard, but I think even you will admit that all we have to show for our efforts is a number of fanciful theories, all of them unproven and unprovable. Reviewing the matter in my capacity as an officer of the law, I find that we have almost nothing in the way of tangible evidence; nor do I see any realistic chance of such evidence emerging in the near future.

Thus, I see no merit in our proceeding further. We are both busy men, and have many other duties to fulfil.

I trust you will see the matter as clearly as I do, and will take no further action in this matter.
