It may be ordered in the following way; Benson, for the purpose of taking
such part of the Concerns as it would not be creditable for my Brother to
appear in, is to be set up in a kind of Shop, which has been purchased
for that purpose, a decent House the Price for the Fee simple of
which is about 120 Rubles, that is about £30 —

You may therefore Speak of Benson as a Person whom, either on his
own account, or on account of his being under the Coll's protection
you wish to Serve, and order the Cloths as for him, & in his name,
answering yourself for the payment of it in such manner as
may be required.

The Proportions should be 2/5.s of the number of yards, Green,
The Same of White, and 1/5 of Scarlet — The Green should be a
Grass-Green, (as you see by the Coll's Uniform) whether it be
This or that shade do's not much signify — The Shalloon shod
be scarlet matching exactly the Scarlet Broad-Cloth, it
should be the finest there is or nearly so.

If it happens that the whole amount should come to a little
more or less it will not be material, I mention this, that you
may not think it necessary to break a Piece — a small
Inferiority in goodness would be no Objection, if made
amends for in Price, for instance 2s a yard.

Direction for the Cloth, to be sent to Riga
To Mr George Benson at Coll Bentham's
Critchoff
To the Care of Mr Christian Trompousky
at Riga.

My Brother is at my Elbow, and joyns me in the assurance
that we are: Hond Sir,
your dutiful & affectionate Sons
J.y & S. Bentham
