No 13 Saturday Night —

It is possible that (your brother) may be blind
for three or four days — In that case I could do no
Code — I have therefore a project for employing my time
in another manner — It has just occurred to me & W.
half approves of it to dress up a scrap of a pamphlet
under the title of Naval anecdotes; the heads of it
should be taken from the several persons to whom the anecdotes
relate — Amongst others Lord Howe, as you may
imagine, will be introduced. It may stand a half possible
chance of being subservient in some minute degree to his
being appointed to a command. For this purpose you
must do your part in pumping Davies, making him
repeat to you as circumstantially as possible the particulars
of Lord Howe's negotiation with the crews of
the transports — also of the negotiation for procuring soldiers
to serve as Marines — To this he will have no objection
any more than he will to furnish you with
any other particulars that can tend to do his Lordship
honour. For the sake of swelling the pamphlet
& adding to the entertainment make him repeat to you
in the like circumstantial manner all the stories you
have ever heard him tell about N. American affairs
