20 XI
This with his sharing himself must exasperate his brethren and but it
serves to shew at the same time the superiority of the Political over the religious
sanction. They He resents none of their injuries to him,
he is of use to every body he can, and goes on gaining
ground every day.
Of the second class of friends who are
rather acquaintance I have not time to say anything.
You will perceive that I am well off with respect to friendship
This and the distinguished Character I have acquired here
must be pleasing but I am by no means contented with
it. No friendship will make up for my separation from
you and I doubt not that my friends would multiply in
England whereas here I believe they cannot. I doubt if this part of the country will afford more besides the
distinctions I have had here are very little flattering to
me: they were the consequence of chance in which
personal merit had the smallest share possible.
Here is no opportunity to shew that public spirit and Zeal
for Utility which may be found in England. Noone
scarcely cares a farthing what becomes of the country here.
and after Kersakoff & Sambourski I believe I am
the greatest patriot in the country, among those I know
at least.
Lord Howe is now at the Admiralty if by his
means or any other I could get a hold at home, I should
bid adieu to all here: and this if you come to see me
