is now got to such a degree that I know not scarcely what I
do At such a time as this certainly you must be otherwise
employed than in the pursuing your former plans works.300
For my part, when I reflect on the probability of my being employed now the hopes I have that what I have to say may now
meet with some attention, my Zeal is without bounds. in the dock good works were I in England at home and at the same time head of
was I in authority I should I believe never sleep but in my the for Ld not being made I am as it were ready to of it of him
way from one dockyard to another. Messrs the Commissioners of
the navy & dockyard officers should have no more rest
than I have now on my journey. The fear of such a whip before
their eyes as one of my Grenadiers puts life into discourages
the portillous
when they are lazy, would make these Gentlemen a
little more alert. A little Russian discipline would now
produce a work wonderfull changes in such luke-warm dispositions.
The master shipwright himself when he has nothing
better to do should blister his hands in setting an example to the
workmen. Not one bit of ornament or accommodation
for an Officer should be a moment's delay. It is possible
that at carved work and mouldings, placeings and polishings make
at such a time as this a part of the employment of these workmen
whose labour is of such great value? moment Is an hour in the day that
is 1/2 day in the week still spent in the cutting up and secreting
of chips? Is it by such lying reports that the Lords of Admiralty
as well as or who are soever else in may concern
still judge of the progress of the works in the dockyard as they
would get better information from the newspapers.
