Pocket, & used to laugh at me for having such a one - so that
unless you think fit to have a pocket wch. you used to laugh at your
father for having - such a Pen & Ink Case will be of no use to you.

I hope in your next to have a Catalogue of your Letters recommendatory,
& a Copy of what Lord Shelbourne has given you - with an
account of every other Circumstance preparatory for your
Departure, & the Name of the Ship you are to sail in for Holland
and what use you make of Mr Raikes, whether any for the
purpose of many Remittances — unless it shod answer to you
in other respects, I shod think Sr. Robert Herries & Co. in St
James's Street wod be the best. ytis the Cheapest — I dare
say, Mr Thelusson's are Letters of Credit — but I wod not have
you make that use of them, as they are more expensive
than Herries's, unless you shod find yourself under a
necessity of doing it — little Sums I dare say, Mr Bush
wod be glad to let you have, as I cod pay his Bills to
Lodiges who is continually sending Plants &
some kind or other to Bush at Petersburgh.
but the Post is going out, or I shall be too late
nothing Else can Stop my writing, as it may proba
be the last I shall have to send before you are gone hence &
are no more to be seen; God bless you & preserve you,
by Sea & Land, & bring you again to the arms of
your affectionate Father

a day for Holland in your way to Copenhagen &c, & yt if his Lordship
has any Commands, you shod be happy to have be honoured
with them , to any Persons or places of your Destination, or something
of that sort, — It may be a means of leaving some impressionss with
him, to your advantage, or at least that you may be in his
Remembrance upon your Return — it is not material for you to have any
answer;
