Dear Sam
With respect to the 8th proposition and that only
I grant you a dispensation - You must stay till we can
combat it with united forces. It is abominable in Euclid because
he does not know how to describe the figure himself,
to throw the burthen of it upon other people
I dispatch thus much without saying any thing more to give
set you at ease as much as is in my power & as soon as
it is in my power - your letter is but just come to hand.
Adieu.
A friend of Mr Williams has got several plans and instruments
of portable Houses for East Florida as they sell them at
Carolina - That same friend wrote about 2 months ago to his
friend one of whose letters we have got, making further enquiries
so that we may expect to have an answer to it in 2 or 3
more - - Mr De Braun and Q.S.P. I find are upon
pretty intimate terms - they He paid a visit there on Sunday
when I was there to dinner; but as there was a good deal of
company besides I did not choose to make my appearance
happening to be quite in dishabille - - Mr Villion tells me
that the E.F. Indigo sells for a great deal more (I believe
half as much again) than any other — A paragraph that
appeared there in the Newspapers about a Month ago
I had no particular reason for doubting my letter as I did.
