Amongst the plagues I must not omit a two legged
animal tormentor something between the knave the fool of the
madman whom I have done my brother the
kindness to introduce to him in the quality of chemical
projector for which he is well enough qualified in point
of knowledge though of nothing else. He offered himself
to me in London and as his situation he was glad made
him content to come without that security which you
know it was not in my power to offer, I thought
it was no ill turn I had done my brother by encouraging
him to come here. He was moreover an able medical
practitioner in every branch if any faith is to be put

to come to him and when not to come: and so far forgot
his direction as without the privity of my Brother or me to communicate to the Dr without
copies of which he Benson had been employed to
take of letters of mine to my Agent in which happily
there was nothing that I should have cared about
