reach you on Wednesday - probably you will have Thursday
good before they sail — But I hope and believe that you hav
thought of all this before now of yourself.
In your letter of Sunday I have taken care to scratched out the words
"the bank note also". Wilson and I had a consultation about it
I was for having them stand, by way of a reproach to Q.S.P.
in case of his not having sent you any money himself.
But Wilson thought he would take occasion not to send you
any finding you were supplied elsewhere. So I was fool
enough to give up my opinion to his.
I saw a man to day like one another man who is come from
Hallifax after a passage of 24 days — on their way in Latitude &
Longitude I know not what they met with Byron's fleet which
brought them to — Byron or some of his people told them that
they had before met another ship which at such an hou
of such a day had seen D'Estaing steering towards Boston & yt
by their computation the distance between the two fleets was n
more than 27 leagues — this story however I dont believe because
D'Estaing passed the streights three weeks before Byron
sailed from Plymouth
I don't know whether I may n't send you in
a day or two another waistcoat I have. It is a Manchester
silk & cotton stuff made in imitation of the India stuffs
called Gingham's. Wilson has just got such another made,
which is suffic more than any thing I could say for it. I have
wore it to dirtiness so that you must have it washed. I believe
I shall make you keep it, for the buttons are cover'd with cloth
