means to continue, I believe, for some time, as he feels he
can be provided with all manner of Eatables &c & just as he
likes without the least trouble—but how long he —
proposes to continue there I can't pretend to say, & perhaps
he do't yet know himself. For my own part I make myself
happy with the thought that he is so. He now
& then comes upon me without our ever knowing when
& calls to us at Breakfast or Dinner but it is not
often, but he knows he is always welcome — but when
he has anything to communicate to me that he thinks
will give me pleasure, I believe he never fails to
do it.

Since his Account I was happy to receive of the active
part you took in the two Engagements with the Turks, on
the , and of your Promotion in consequence of it —
I have been lead to consider you more in the Character
not only of a Soldier, & but of a Commander too, and finding that there
have lately been published two Military Treatises —
Each in two Volumes very large octavo with a number
of Plates to them for the Information of
Field Officers, to which have the names of all the Principal
officers of our Forces, prefixed to them or one of them
who are subscribers as a means of encouraging the Publication for the
purpose of enabling the Editors to bear the Expence
of the Publication I have purchased them, in hope
they may be of some use to you, as a Field Officer
and intend to make use of the first opportunity I
can meet with of sending them to some Friends of
yours at Petersburgh in hopes that from thence
they may find their way to you at Chernon
The one cost me 2 gns the other near as much
and I shall be much concerned A & disappointed
to have them miscarry & not come to your hand.
and desire you will not fail giving me satisfaction
of receiving by a Letter from you as soon as they shall
have come to your hand.
