J.B. to Mr Whitworth

Warsaw

Schultz Hotel Monday night Decr 1787.

Sir
On my way to England through Berlin there is a circumstance
in which your assistance or at least advice, if it be in your power to afford
me, any would relieve me from a considerable embarrassment. I am
informed that in the Prussian Custom-houses they are so strict as even
to search pockets and to make a point of opening all sealed letters.

On my departure from England in August 1785 I took various letters several some of which
not having an opportunity of presenting them remain still with me.
Concerning some of them, knowing them to be merely letters of introduction,
such as official letters from Ld Carmathen, I should be under
no difficulty. But there are others which being likely enough
to contain particulars which the writers would not have wished to
be known to third persons, I should be glad to return to them unopen'd.
To these, would not an enveloppe from you addressed to
our Minister at Berlin be a protection? In case of the affirmative,
not conceiving myself to have the honour to be known to you
I should beg permission to wait on you in order to lay before yo submit to your
inspection
