Hendon Middlesex Jan: 21 1789

Hon:d Sir

I have just received your favour of yesterday. I have
been continually in the intention of paying my duty to you for some
time past, and shall certainly execute it before many days are over
my head. I shall profit by your kind intimations with respect to the
Ale by the first opportunity, which I imagine will occur before long,
I mean that if my Landlord's going to the neighbourhood of Lincoln's Inn
Fields, where I shall take the liberty of directing the empty barrel
to Mr Abbot's.

This same post brings me some Leyden Gazette's, the Supplement
last of which will afford you some particulars not
in our Gazette, and the presumption of Sam's safety resulting from
the mention of other deaths. Observe this business was done by the
Bomb-vessels; and you know to whose department the fitting them
out belonged — Yours ever J.B.

P.S. I received in due course two former letters, the first of
which I should certainly have obey'd, had it not been for the dispensation
sent me by the 2d. Your economy was at a fault. You
might have sent me a dozen or 2 or 3 dozen cards without my
paying for them — The penny post carries 4 ounces. But somehow
or your letters, though single, and though you pay a penny with
them (as marked) cost me 2d, I think I was told as a reason that
they go first to the General Post, which is quite unnecessary. I had
a letter Thursday from Ld Lansdown. If Physicians order, he, Lady
L, & Miss Caroline Vernon go to Lisbon, and he asks me to be of the party.
