Jim: "The Guild was falling apart, it was weak without a leader. I had no hope for the Guild any more, when I left to reflect on my life, I realised who I was. I am Imperial, I joined back with the Penitus Oculatus and took a mission in Morrowind, and now my allegiance is here in Morrowind. It is what I care about, my mind is focused. I can see from your presence that the lack of a leader isn't a problem in the Thieves Guild. I can guess why you are here, you want me to join back in to the Thieves Guild. I will give you a chance, convince me to atleast help the Thieves Guild."

(There are 2 things that can convince Jim, one is pretty clear and the other is referenced in the note by General Tullius.)
