to both yours taken together: and therefore in short any time
of the whole four equal to any o the the remaining two.
The difference between The different effect of "either" in the two
cases depends upon the a of things
equal to one or other
In a Parenthesis — You never told me about the phials: whether
you received them & whether they answer the purpose. the smallest
are half ounces as — I believe 1/4 oz. I thought you wanted some small. they
are no cheaper than ounces or even I believe 2 ounces.
The tables representing the Combinations of the 3 Mineral Acids with the
several other substances yet known (together with the manner of effecting those combinations )
were transcribed for you into a thin book of the small 4to form
with a blue paper cover: surely you have it: Thomas sat up
hour or two extraordinary to finish it before you event.

Alas, Sam — it is but so true. The Sails must be New under
the penalty you mentioned. That d——d Act (God forgive me)
that you and I looked at together, is continued by another d——d
Act (God forgive me once more) to the present time. The original
act is 19.G.2.ch.28.§.11. The continuing Act 6 G.3.c.45.
§5. "Ship or Vessel" are the words, so that if yours is either a
Ship or a Vessel, there is no help for it, New Sails must you
have or none. But by the bye is the Boat your own? is it

he be specially named in it.
I have called at Wrights for your pencils and have a promise of

them when he was not at home about a month ago. do you know anything of it ?
The reason of the different effect [of "either"] in the two cases instanced must be deferred to my
next. Duty to my Father &c. How does the Chatham air agree with him? How do they like their
quarters? Should they take Brighthelmstone in their travels they may not improbably
meet with a Clergyman of the name of Downes. He is a very agreable man an Irishman has been
some years abroad: If they think proper they may give my Compliments to him, by way
of introduction. He is an old College acquaintance I have lately spent some hours every
now and then in his company.
