Linc. Inn. Dec. 19. 1778
I have not time to night to enquire about the Cot —
Remember there are two inns in the Borough from whence
Waggons go.
I have not seen Mrs Green, so can not say any
thing to you about the Boy till

to authorise the holding the trial there instead of on board the Victory. Adm

state the invention is - What did you expect me to say
to you respecting the Conduct of the business?
