He mentions that both he and Lushington thought lightly of those dangers, not deeming them sufficient to prevent the trial of a model farm, but believing that careful choice of an agent and monitoring him should be sufficient to prevent any disasters. He urges that they had the money and the practical assistance needed to make the plan feasible, that there would never be a like opportunity for carrying out their plan, and that the project was absolutely necessary for the success of their Remedy. He urges him to act at once. (Copy.)
