"I need not tell you what pleasure it gave me to find
"Mr Sambouski expressing such sentiments with regard to the
"improvement of useful knowlege in his country; nor how glad I
"should be to co-operate promote as far as my small ability extends, with
"such laudable intentions. commendable wishes views. I need not recal to you the feasts we
"have so often given ourselves treated our imaginations with, when we have been contemplating the
"progress of improvement in that rising country. I would strain a
"point rather than miss of any opportunity of lending a helping
"hand, though it be ever so distant an one in the prosecution
"of such a business. I don't see however how we can well settle
"the matter definitively and talk over all that is to be said on the subject at this distance: I have determined therefore
"that as soon as the Court Martial is over if Mr Sambouski
"continues to think of me in the same light, I will to come to town".

I.B. to S.B.

You must send me back my waistcoat on Thursday. On Friday I
dine out at Browne's & have nothing to put on - I can return it you upon if you
want it particularly on Friday night. — No — that was my mistake - it is

I fear it may have miscarried: yet I gave it with my own hands

(Wilson knew nobody & Lind has not been at chambers.) He (Burton) said that
he had refused an invitation O'Byrne had given him promising to find him
