Linc. Inn Oct. 24. 1778

I have received yours of the 18th

Your Tinfoil instead of a guinea or more as the man
talked of, came to but 7-8 1/2

I hope by the bye you have received it— It went
in Tuesday or Wednesday by the Diligence from the Bell in Friday Street,
Q.S.P. took it in the Coach and paid the carriage which
came to 3s. In the parcel were the other things I talked
of— item certain pair of laced ruffles— 1 pr all lace
one pair lace with a footing & one pair of muslin with
lace edging. Perhaps I may be able to spare you a wastcoat
or two soon, but I am not certain. Give me timely notice
i.e: 5 days at the least, where you go, that I may not send
my thing more.

I have been deferring to write all this while in expectation
of getting Franks or recommendations or both from
Lind — As yet I have got neither. People are out of
town. Perhaps you may have some perhaps not— At Portsmouth
the place of your principal residence would be better
than at Plymouth where you are to stay so short a time
What advantage to you would it be for example to be introduced
at this time to Ommaney if you were to quit the
place in a week after? I will use my own discretion about
the business unless special instructions come to me—. My attention

This has been a busy day — after Swede was gone came in my Uncle
When I talked to him about repaying him his £10, he looked sulky, observed
that your journey backwards & forwards must be achieved, if
in short intimated that he meant to make you a present of it.
Q.S.P gave me a draught for £20 t'other day — This will hold
my head above water some time longer, but I forsee I shall have occasion
to lay hold of your shorts before I get any thing for myself
