You may depend upon my executing your Commissions some day

Wednesday night
I have been dining at Davies's - Wilson there and
one Roberts a Sea Officer an old acquaintance of D.'s (but
a stupid sort of an animal he seems) and Browne. Browne
has th day received the money from Bargrave of Fosters
I have rec'd your letter of yesterday.
I have not time to transcribe Forster's letter from
Petersburgh — the result of it is that from my letter to
him there seem some little hopes for me, but none for you
There is however something of a channel of communication open'd
He seems very well disposed to serve us, but not near so able
as we had understood from that report. He gives a very
good account of the reasons of his silence.
I shall send you the wastecoat and the book —
by the Coach that sets off to night from St Clements.
Hang it I think I will send you Foster's letter: transcribe
it, & then send it back to me the first opportunity
for instance with the waistcoat - Send me the wastcoat
immediately, unless you want it for some particular occasion
- or within the a week. Former letter Wind gage
Then I will look over your former letters Pucelle I see nothing of. Wind-gage &
the other things I will see after tomorrow [I have just been carrying the packet to the Angel
behind St Clement's: the Carriage will be in by 3 or 4 in the afternoon at the Crown in Portsmouth
