Nov. 21. 1778. Linc. Inn
The sanglier who will give you this came and attacked
me last night at 10 o'clock — seeing no remedy I put him
to kennel in your bed — Is not this free and easy?
However he shall be made to answer — the Lord is a gracious
Lord and out of evil bringeth good — He (I mean not the Lord
but the sanglier is upon intimate terms with one Blanquet or
Blanket a 2d Lieut:t on board the Victory — Blanquet was intimate
with Adm. Knowles and was over with him one summer
in Russia. He was with him when he died got a great
many of his papers and regrets that he did not get more. He is
a free hearty, communicative harum-scarum fellow —— For further
particulars I refer you to the Sanglier — pump him well — I proposed
to him to introduce you to Blanquet — that he would
do with all his heart — Blanquet perhaps may not stay above
a fortnight in London. P. talks of returning to London in about a week; but
if he does not of his own accord you must make him for the purpose
of introducing you. I don't doubt but what you could get B. to
let you have the rummaging of his Russian papers.
Interrogate P. about Keppel — what I have collected from him
confirms your stories, & in part accounts for them.
Swede has been introduced to Baron Dimsdale — not the
Son to whom he remains yet to be introduced, but the old man
who has behaved to him with cordiality & promised him all sorts
of letters and introductions.
I have got a most divine Bookbinder of Swede's recommending
— Bring with you any books you have unbound — Polish
Letters you have — I want to bind them with Lind's other works.
