to give him up? What a pretty situation have you been having me on. I think
I shall not go however till Introd. reaches him. Mern — My Chertsey friend is intimate with
Nolken In Phil. France no for 1780 &c, is an Account of a method of safely removing ships that have
been driven on shore, and damaged in their bottoms to places at a distance quellenque for
repairing them by Barnard Shipbuilder at Deptford for it is contained in the leaf of a Review.
I believe I shall send it in my next through the other channel. W. can not believe the
misfortune has happened which you dread. And since it was necessary that what was done should
be done, who else could one trust better? Perhaps it was done here.
As far as I can collect from your Polish letter, one part of the plan is possible if accepted without
capital: if the sine que non is the 6,000£, it is impossible indeed. You must stay till my
schemes , then you will have all my excedents to play at Ducks & Drakes with.
Advice my Sam, doubt of your own existence, rather than of my continuing to love you. Tuesday 7th
Is there not a possibility of your hospitable friends doing something towards a capital upon advancing
a proportion and investing the while within his reach?
