He points out to me the people from whose acquaintance
I can profit with respect to Philosophical information
and a knowledge of the country. He tells me their characters
and dispositions, as also what it is they do know,
& what it is they do not. He has lived a great many years
here. He is Physician to the Corps of Cadets under
Betsky's direction.

I have read his abstract of the papers given in
for the prize on the means of rendering Ship-timber
more durable. The method proposed by the one which gained
the premium was the setting the pieces on their ends upright,
as it were between walls, immersed in a Sand-bath
heated with the Sun alone or by a moderate fire. It seems
to promise to be of some good effect; but I trust I can beat
them all, by the help of my Amsterdam friends.

I have read Crawford on heat. I almost agree with
Guthrie in calling him a second Newton.
