other concurrents also were given sent to him for inspection and
opinion and he has made an abstract of all the methods
proposed which I am to have the perusal of. It is in French
that which gained the prize is published. He speaks of
Robinson the Professor of Natural Philosophy at Duisberg as
the man who has the most scientific knowledge relating to
the Marine department of any man. I should firmly believe it, if he
was not a countryman as well as a near relation by marriage
of the Doctor's. He was brought over here by Ad l Knowles to
be and made and was accordingly made Secretary of the Admiralty, and was the Admiral's adviser in
all his works here, but finding it a place very different from
that of Stephens's in London and being chosen to the place
at Duisberg which he now holds he quitted this country.
Dr Guthrie has paid me a second visit at which the Characters of
different English Sea officers was the chief subject of conversation, a subject
not very informing to me. He was very intimate with Adl
Knowles
also with Blankett when he was here.
Pleschijeff has offered to engage his father to manage the money
for me telling him he has an interest in it though he would have
none. be not surprised at such an act of friendship from this man.
he does me and will do me greater. He has trusted me with things which
put his future happiness & even life in my power and a warmer friend cannot
exist.
