Such multiplied disasters are hardly to be paralleled. To endeavour
to recollect the particulars would be a very troublesome, and as I
intend to tread close upon the heels of the Messenger who brings you
this, an useless task.
It was no small satisfaction to me to receive so unexpectedly
a printed copy of my Defence of Usury, and for that satisfaction
I am much obliged to you. But I have been just
tearing off a half sheet in which in which I had begged you
in Stronger terms than you would like to see, not to send any more
copies in my name, much less accompanied with letters. Upon
turning over the copy, I was pleased to see it had suffer'd so
little in point of correctness, by my distance from the press. I
have however found a few errata, the list of which I inclose,
that you may send it to the Printer, if you think it worth
the while. Adieu, my dear Father, I hope to embrace you
in a few days after your receipt of this.
Berlin Jan. 9. 1787.
