country; It will be a twelvemonth, or let us say, for the
most 18 months, before his affairs can be determined
on. I must tell you that I am not a stranger to
his pressing circumstances in other respects. He has
been very uneasy, I could see, at his having drawn on his

expences I am necessarily, from my situation
drawn into, yet you may make his father,
if you please, easy as to the apprehensions of more
demands, I will save my friend from that and
I shall have a bad opinion o fhim if he does not
permit me to satisfy his further wants: I shall
one day other have a sufficiency, and indeed
as my wants are not very extensive, an affluency,
and then I am sure my friend cannot want
