When I told him you had invitations also on board King's Ships, he said
they were not allow'd to trade: there you could have no room but just for

MULFORD'S Papers.

Dr Mulford is in town He called on me yesterday morning. He is to drink
Tea with me this afternoon. Not being able to find his Scotch Papers, I cant

if you can what passed between him & you on that subject
when you were with him at Milbrooke. He asks why you
do not come & see him. He talks of going out of town tomorrow
night.

Now for Samb: and Afan: They called here this morning before
Beale.

As soon as they were sent down Afan: was sent away, & Samb

Samb.'s representations to £100. He seemed to intimate, that there was
a possibility that his friends who were not in high circumstances upon farther representations might be induced
