Archangel Feby 26th O.S. 1781
Poor Lind! I can't help thinking of the man. He was all together
a very extraordinary character. For my part I was under
For my part I was under great obligations to him. I received
your Letter containing the news of his Death the Day after
I arrived here when I was at Dinner at the House of a
Merchant whose acquaintance I made by his means
at Mr Raikes's in London. I could not help starting
at seeing the words "Lind's Death" put at Top.
The Paper which you tell me of having dispatched I
hope to receive by the next Packet from Petersburg.
I got your's of Dec r 29th containing the first parcel of "Exper"
by the last post and "Div": came to hand before I set out.
As to the matter between Peake and Harrison I know no more
of it, than the Man in the Moon. Sir Chas Douglas's
method of splicing the yards is certainly a good one
but I can't say so much of your description of it.
If it were not for the bright genius of my younger
brother, my scribling would have been to little purpose.
