Linc. Inn. Dec. 19. 1778

I have not time to night to enquire about the Cot —
Remember there are two inns in the Borough from whence
Waggons go.

I have not seen Mrs Green, so can not say any
thing to you about the Boy till

Will you see and get me some pens from Peake?
He took 4s of my money to buy quills - he pretends he
will find me in pens for evermore, and yet if one wants
a pen there is no getting him hardly to make one.

Yes - be present at Keppel's Court Martial by
all means if you can — It will perhaps acquire
some interest - it wou'd not be a public trial — You
know I suppose that it is to be at your Academy the
7th next month. All the people must lodge there while
the trial lasts, therefore you will be obliged I suppose
to turn out. There is to be or is already an Act passed
to authorise the holding the trial there instead of on board the Victory. Adm
Pigot brought in the Bill. Keppels ill health was the reason.

Davies designed to have written to you to day: but I
don't know whether he will have time. He seems to wish
you to go on for the present with the Mathematics

As to the expediency of coming up to town to try experiments,
that I can be no judge of, not knowing in what
state the invention is - What did you expect me to say
to you respecting the Conduct of the business?
