Monday Jany 4 1779

Sambouski for particulars referred me to his letter to
Mr Witchell. You should write me an ostensible letter
but put other things into it that it may not appear
to be written for the purpose.

I have not yet said any thing about it to Q.S.P.
I have not seen him since I saw Sambouski. Why
don't you write to him. It would have looked better if
you had written to him before you had reason to write
for money.

Perhaps it may be necessary for you to come to
town as soon as the Court Martial is over, to settle all
matters with Sambouski - He must be given to understand
that you do not mean to preclude himyourself from taking a
cruze for example with Ld Howe if he should go out, but
that in that case, you will have somebody (James for instance)
to continue the instruction plan.

Afaniasieve should have a course of Fordyce's Chymistry
and you and he should take one or two of the flying
courses of Natural Philosophy given in London: but then how
is the expence of this to be defray'd?

You may take notice of these things, and say that
if you were to engage in any such undertaking you could wish
to have it in your power to put him in a way of informing
himself with respect to every point of knowledge that would
be necessary to him in order to his understanding the rationale
of the art: that you take it for granted the views of those who
have sent him here for instruction are not merely that he should know
