I.B. to Lde Sandwich. Intelligence
Possibly the following intelligence may contain
nothing but what is known already; possibly
nothing that is even worth attention:
but as the contrary also seemed possible,
I thought it my duty as an Englishman, to make
your Lordship Judge.
Extract of a letter from Portsmouth written
23d received 29 of May 1779.
Here follow'd the extract
The writer of the above is My brother,
Samuel Bentham, He has the writer of the above served an Apprenticeship to Mr Gray late Master Shipwright
as a Shipwright
at Chatham: but having had in other respects a liberal
education is going in the course of a month, out
of motive of curiosity to see what he can get access
to see in the Dock Yards belonging to the several
Northern Powers. He has not the least idea of
its going into any other hands than mine.
If your Lordship thinks it not worth notice,
I shall think so too: but at any rate it
is my humble request that neither his name nor mine may be
mentioned without necessity.
As neither he, nor any of the persons
above mentioned have the least idea of my taking
the step I am now taking, it is my humble request
to your Lordship that neither his name nor mine
may be mentioned on this account to any one without
necessity. I have the honour to be, with perfect respect
My Lord, Your Lordships most obedient humble Servant.
