Hon:d Sir
I sent you a day or two ago through
Wilson a copy of a letter from Sam, to which I now
refer. I wonder whether he will get any thing from
people here for doing that sort of journey-work for them,
besides the credit of it, and the collateral advantages he
may make of it? I think they can't sweat him for two
or three months together without giving him what the French
call a pot de vin, and what in vulgar English may
be rendered "something to drink", after he has done — I wonder
when Fitzherbert sets off — I wonder how long he
will be upon his journey? I wonder whether it would be
within the sphere of possibility to make him take the
latest rather than the earliest of two days that might be
indifferent to him, by enchantment or any other means
less supernatural, supposing it would be of any use?
