speaks of some late settlers as doing extremely
well, and mentions sugar among the products.
Our Ragamuffin Cousin of the Navy Office
(Son of the Clerk) of whom all that any body has
heard these 84 years is that he has done what
is too bad to be told, did me this morning the
very unexpected honour of a visit — He has as
fortune would have it, has been lately in the
2 Floridas - According to his account, the settlers
do extremely well in E.F. but the Country is not
so healthy as the printed accounts would persuade
one to believe, tho' more so than W. Florida
There is no knowing how much may be owing
to intemperance and imprudent conduct - we
shall know more particularly from Mr Villions
Friend's Friend —
Saturday Decr 3d 1773
Lincoln's Inn

I heard no more from our
Cousin having every reason, and
extremely glad of an opportunity
which happen'd to present itself
of getting rid of him as soon
as possible - I should be glad to
have some further discourse with him if it could be
done without incumbering myself with a disagreable
connection - I could tell you however a good deal
more of him as it is if I had time - -
Once more Adieu my dear idle brother.
