Buckingham — poor fellow he has been in danger
of death: but he has just called on me: he came
on foot: and a week at a bathing place — Hastings
will compleatly restore him. In addition to his
new invented ship Virginia for carrying passengers
without goods, in which I have taken a small part,
and his (Monthly) Pro Herald, he had too hastily engaged
in the setting up of a daily newspaper under
the name of the Evening Chronicle. The fatigue
and anxiety of all these undertakings but more particularly
the last in comparison of which both the others
were nothing, threw him into a fever, in
which he had two relapses. In fine he had
the option between giving up life and giving up
the Evening Chronicle. I advised the latter, and
contributed my assistance towards the extricating him
out of it: but this could not be done without
considerable loss which however will not amount
I hope to thousands. Just now a prospect is
opened of the position of which could
be considered with very little risk or fatigue: but
I expect very but no decision can
be come to till long after this letter must close
