My dear Sam

Your Brother's absence from Town, who is gone for about a fortnight to Mr
Davis at Brompton, occasioned Mr Lind to send the inclos'd to me to get forwarded
to you at Petersburg, which I have an opportunity of doing, at no expence, to
me, & I hope neither to you, by means of my Friends at the Secretary of State's
Office for the Northern Department, (Lord Stormont's), The inclose'd came to me
too late for the Post on Friday night, but hope this will come time enough
to meet you upon your Arrival. I have commission to tell you you may
direct your Letters, for me (whether for me or your Brother &c)under

Office, who will get it frank'd by Mr Frazer, so as to conveyd it
to you Free of Expence, but whether only a Part or the whole of

will let me know in your next, I believe however the packages

many acquaintances you make will answer to you in profit, as
well as pleasure, and as you have said enough to convince me, the
former is your principal object, & the latter no other than a Secondary
means. I shall satisfy myself with the persuasion that you will not

of some valuable purpose — as an intention to keep your Expenses
within due bounds, so as not to exceed the Line of prudence with
