J & S.B. to R.C. Crichoff Dec.r 19/30 1786

We thank you much for your kind letter, congratulate you on
your increase of family and hope to see Miss one of these days an Alderwoman
as well as her Mama.

The main purpose of this letter is to tell you of my writing
to Q.S.P. by the same post, desiring him, pressing him, to let you
have all my letters for at least a fortnight. Wilson of whom he is more
jealous being in the same predicament as yourself with regard to the difficulty
of getting a sight of those invaluables, I must beg li you to
cut him a week out of your fortnight if you get it. I mean to write
to you but shortly: having occasion to write long letters by this same
conveyance to Wilson as well as to Q.S.P. about a pamphlet
some a series of letters of mine to Q.S.P. about an invention of Sam's which may possibly see the press.
Wilson I dare say will either shew you my letter to him or give
you a full account of the contents. If he should not shew it you
you will not be surprized, as I don't know that the contents will be
composed solely to my own affairs & Sam's. If the thing is printed, you
will have a copy sent you, that is to say, may it please your worship
I sollicit with all respect your worship's acceptance of a copy.

Major Semple took in every body at Petersburgh except Sam, who
suspected him from the first & cautioned Sir J. H. against him
but in vain.

It is not impossible but that you may have seen all the letters of mine
which Q.S.P. had at the time, for though long in general they have not been numerous. As
to making it matter of favour you know that is his way in every thing: the legal right
must be in him, neither is it in my power to pluck it out of him.
