June 20th.

As to Trinkets which you might bring with you, for the purpose
you mention I dont know of any that it would be worth while.
But these pocket books you mention are so cheap that you
may bring 3 or 4 of them. 2. Needles of all the different
sizes and even Pins. 3 two or three Penknifves.
4. 3 or 4 Pocket Compasses of the size of watches to
wear in a fob. I have seen them with a Hydrometer on
the back. 5 some Spirit Hygrometers. 6 2 bridles
and 2 Saddles for me the one a handsome one the other
plain, but I think plated rather than steel because of the
rust. Remember that ideas of beauty here do not perhaps
perfectly conform to the caprice of what may be the fashion
of the day.

Cloaths for S.B.

You ask what my uniform is, If my portrait is arrived
which I sent my father you have seen already. if not, it is
a green coat with red scarlet lapells, Scarlet wasitcoat with a
broad gold lace & white breeches.

If therefore you shold
anywhere meet with some remarkable fine Cloth of a grass
green colour, and also some scarlet; buy me ½ a dozen
yards of the former and a couple of the latter. If it be
narrower than broad cloth, then a greater length to make up
the quantity.
