Linc.Inn - March. 3. 1779.

ID : SB :: GW : IB. SD

There is a theorem for you; which considering the proficiency you
have made in mathematics, you will not find difficult to solve. N'importe -
you know the fable of the dying man with his sons, and
the bundle of faggots.

You may see by the papers how hard pushed Ld North
& Ld Sandwich have been: and Keppel bearing the most honourable
testimony to the conduct of Ld Howe.

I have heard by Elmsly's means of a not improbable method of conveying
Code to Berne by the Post franco: which would give me till
within a fortnight of July in point of time. I am going to write
about it to the Secretary Triboulet

I have bespoke for you a copy of that book I mentioned
to you in my last giving an account of the methods at used to execute
a great work relative to Shipbuilding (something of the
Dock kind) by sinking a vast frame of woodwork under water
It will apply to Div. Scheme Elmsly wrote for it last night
It was at Carlscrona in Sweden. get the Crit. Review by all
means. It will serve you to talk with Lindegreen about. It is
possible he may have the book: it is probable he may know the
Engineer Thunberg. Get out of Lindegreen how it fares with the
Spirit of improvement & reformation in Sweden. I have designs upon
the King thereof. He seems to be a great man. & a good man. He
must have a copy of Code. I have an account of the Revolution in
Sweden written by one Sheridan of the Temple, an Irishman who
was Secretary to our Embassy at the time. I like it much.
