My dear Sam
your Brother did not acquaint me with the Letter he
rece'd from you till the Day after I wrote to you; otherwise I shod
have been satisfied till I had yours — I commend your
determination to be capable of boasting to Pownell of your
assiduity, & it is the furthest from my wish if you shod do
otherwise - but I cod not help wishing, you had been
particular in letting me know what kind of work it was
yl you attend so closely to, whether you work with any xox
Tools," & for how long & what part of the Day - I have no
doubt but it is the mere Osibility of your working yl Pownell
lays the Stress on - & yet it is neither your actual Improvement,
nor the real Service to y public or, as it is called
the King's, that he has at heart - as to the latter of the
Two, therefore, you may perhaps be agreed. I cannot help
thinking it however
