nor would his recommendation make me wish for them.
I am quite delighted that you have at last got your round about message
from Hynam; but I form no great expectations for the prompt mode
of your answer from the Prince.
Notman has just received a letter from is brother in London informing
him that he does not come. This I am very sorry for as the Skillwork
will go on but indifferently without him. If 75 guineas
will induce him to come out I would engage to give it him for
one year and make no doubt but he may at the expiration
at time be engaged or find a way of business
more advantageously.
I am affraid that this place will not suit well for Debraw's Prussian
blue project because there are so small a quantity of cattle killed.
Hoofs & horns would not be to be obtained much cheaper than meat
I have no hopes of getting them cheaper than 3 farthings
a pound.
I have received all the letters you ment give the register of in yours
which Roebuck brought me, at least the number agrees though
the dates are not exact.
I have very little expectation of this
letter's finding you still in England but as you speak of setting out
at latest the latter end of this month. In whose ever hands however
it may fall you may thereby hear of the arrival of these people
and I am quite at a loss how to make a letter find its way
