considered the matter a little cooler and thought of what
further alterations it may be proper to make in my
plans, I will sit me down again to take advantage
of this post. This news as if on purpose to revivify
a poor forlorn Englishman has found its way to
this part of the world in 2 months & a half.
This change of affairs cannot but make me very anxious to be
at home and on the assurances in your letters (when this matter

different reasons or the manner of my travelling be any cause
of delay. but there also other objects of consideration.

may not be turned to some account while I am yet in it.
2nd If I may not be able to have open at the same time a
channel for my turning to profit the observations I have
during my stay made on the improvements applicable to
this country. I have no time to giving any order to my
thought on these subjects but as they come will clap them down
