Augt 20th my Sarjeant whom I sent this
morning to Dickinson's the English
Banker house for Letters, has just this
Instant brought me one from you
dated July the 8th, and by the Cover
I see it passed through the hands
of Shairpe at Petersburg
I am much obliged to you Sir
for the trouble you gave yourself to
write me the Extract from the London
Gazette relative to Major Lambros'
defeat, though I had learnt it
from the German Newspapers a
month before. hitherto according
to the newspaper Accounts he had
been astonishingly successful and
I hope that the other Persons concerned
having had it more in their power
have taken care to secure a Part
of the Prize money; as for me I
considered myself as having, with
respect to a view of profit, purchased
a Ticket in an indifferent Lottery
and have never received one Letter
from either of the Persons concerned
with me, I shall probably see some of them
soon
