to you at "Mr Wuderige's or Studerige's" St Aubyns
Street Plymouth Dock. You wrote the past letter or two
in such a manner that I could not make it out. Be
more careful another time about proper names, when there
is no sense to guide one.

I go tomorrow to Petersham whither if it had
not been for the business your letter cut out for me
I should was to have you today. I shall stay till Monday morning
when they come away for good.

I heard a day or two ago from Wilson at
York — He has found favour in the sight of Sr James
Norcliffe whom I believe you have heard him mention
(an old camarade of Mercer's) from whom he is to have
a great cause in the H. of Lords next winter —— no less
than a claim of peerage.

As the conveyance of our letters will now be
rather precarious we should use some caution respecting
the contents.

About exposing yourself to danger, I know not
very well what advice to give you. It was an observation
of Wilson's that any defect in point of personalsuperscript text courage is among
the sort of people you have to deal with the sin against
the Holy Ghost. If it is necessary to expose yourself, let
it rather be in the way of your own profession as in stopping
& which the enemy are firing, than in doing cabbin's-boys
work which is all you are fit for. I would not by
any means have you fall short of any thing you think will
be expected of you; nor accept too lightl readily the lettings off
which perhaps may be offer'd you to try you. Get the Surgeon
