Inn whom I shall have appraised of it, and who will forward it to Petersburgh by
the next packet he sends for me. You will observe it must be the original, a copy would
be nothing.

The things for my Brother were deliver'd without loss of time on board the Dolphin
Captn Robinson whose receipt was sent him by the Post.

Copy of a letter from W. Fitzherbert, Gr. Russell Street to J.B. Brompton

Aug 13th 1783
Dear Sir

Your brother's character stands so high, that it is
" difficult to ascertain from what source any commendation or recommendation
" arises. I endeavoured to serve him through two channels
" to two persons, the most able to be of any use to him,
" & lately had an opportunity of speaking myself to Mr Frazer.
" I now write to say my brother goes about the 20th, & that if
" you have any letters he will carry them: As he goes by land,
" I cannot venture to say he will charge himself with anything
" heavier. I mention this as an opportunity on
" writing confidentially, as I apprehend he will make so
" short stay on the road, and you will write much more
" expeditiously by the Post. I am &c

If your father should happen to be in town, and should
" wish it, I would willingly introduce him to my Brother.

I have written to W.F. to tell him that I do not see any occasion
for wishing to put his Brother to the trouble; but that if he sees
the matter in a different light, you would certainly be very happy to receive
either of their commands — that you are in town commonly of a Wednesday, but seldom
stay beyond Thursday morning on account of Mrs B's health ( This to account for your not offering
them dinner &c) — that your house is so and so — that I direct you at other times
to Datchet where you have a house for the summer.
