Hendon, Middlesex March 27. 1789.

Hon'd Sir
Many thanks to you for your packet and extract: —
As to the placing of the words in the advertisement, that is the very
thing I wished should not be altered. Pray let it go just as I
sent it or not at all.

As to the missing newspaper of Saturday, it has already come
to me in the former packet.

In future give me leave to recommend it to you to make use
of half a sheet of their blue paper for an envelope, and to seal
it with a single wafer. Newspapers contain no secrets. Your
last letter, being made use of as an envelope was so bewaxed in
four or five places that I could not open it without tearing to piece

I hope this letter will prove less illegible than the last.
I thought, that so long as you could read your own writing, you
could read mine.

The one I inclose will put you to no such difficulty: it
may perhaps afford you some surprize, but I hope no sorrow.

Let me recommend it to you to direct your letter for Sam
rather to Mr Hynam, than to Mr Sambouski. Upon the former,
you will see I have some claims: upon the letter, we have
none. The former is in the way of receiving things from on
board of ship; the latter, probably not. Hynam we know
was above and at Petersburgh little more than a month since:
which is more than we know of the other.

I am very glad to hear tidings of my good friend Mr Howard:
and much obliged to him for his intended favour: if you can learn where
his abode is in London, pray let me know. — Pray return me the inclosed.
