I told you in my last, I think, of Lind's prospects
Payne told him tother day that the Fragment
begins to sell very well: better even than Lind's last piece.
A man has written against him in the papers. I
hear no more of the antagonist I told you of - tant
pis. Lind has undertaken to give him a flogging
for what he has done already — and he has begged
of me to answer his man; which I have just been
doing. This man speaks civilly and was to be spoken
to accordingly. Lind who has been told that he is
good at flogging will whip to the bone, I fear,
a poor devil, who if he would but have gone on
would have done me service, and against whom
I have no malice.

Fetcham Sunday 21. July. 1776.

Wilson directs this, that may not know that I have
written to you and take no notice of them. What you
mention they will suppose cam from what I might
have said to you when I was in Chatham.

Send Lind's book by all means to Davies — tell him
Ld Mansfield read it through without stopping.
And Ld North took particular notice of it to Lord
Mansfield - with this recommendation, he might put
it into Lord Howe's hands.
