In getting witnesses to see you execute the Power of Attorney you will consider
who you would wish to know of your having so much money, or who you would wish not to

Yes it was in regard to money matters that I meant, when
I talked of laying hold of your shirts. When I shall want if ever, I do
not precisely know: possibly not this half year. It was in this
view however that I got the power of Attorney so ample; for
I might have had one to receive Dividends only. It cost 6s-6d.
But now be you in what part of the world you will, I can get
my part of it at a day's warning. As soon then as ever the performers
are ready in their parts, the theatre of my exploits shall open
with the Bubble Tragedy or the Shinny-hammer outwitted. The
part of Mrs Accors by particular desire by Mr Samuel Bentham.
Wise, for the first time by Mr Jeremy Bentham.

Your worship seems to be domesticated at Mudge's

Davies's plan seems to be to stay 3 or 4 days here, then to go
down for 3 or 4 days to Brompton — They have engaged a
Livery Servant. They dined to day at Nairne's. I and La Greffiere
alone; but they came in at 5 o'clock. He told me of what had
passed between Ld Howe and him about you much to the effect
of what I had seen in his letter to you, except that I dont recollect
his telling you that he had observed to Ld Howe that if you
did not meet with encouragement here "the service might lose you.
He says he does not know what sort of influence or power Ld Howe
may have at present, but that if he has any, there will be little
fear of his not doing something for you. He talks of his having
written Shipbuilding letters to you besides that about the Ballast
which I saw.

You must come to town, I suppose, before it is long Quere
would it be best to come from Plymouth directly or to take
Portsmouth in your way. Davies said nothing in particular about
introducing you to Ld Howe: but he is to spend an evening
with me alone and then I will read over to him all such letters
of your's as will be for the good of the service, and settle more particularly
about you.

I suppose you will write either to him or to La folle or both
immediately.
