As I have been but a few months in possefsion of the Isle of Man, and
never in the least turned my thoughts towards a Sale of it, it is imposfible
for me, uninformed as I am at present, to fix upon what I should think
an adequate Price for a Possefsion so very considerable both for honour and
Profit, and as I never heard of any notion to purchase a part only, I don't
at all understand what it is. I can therefore at present have no Proposal to
make, but will always be ready to receive with respect any Proposal which
shall come to me from your Lordships. I am &c &c
