to me. You told me in your letter that you should send your
next to Hamb Baron Kloppman at Mittau. I therefore wrote to
Baron Kloppman from Dantzic begging him to send whatever letters
he might have for me to Memel to the house where I now am.
by this means I should get the pleasure of my letter something sooner,
and should be able to answer any parts which might require
dispatch a little sooner also: besides I thought I might perhaps
find something in them which shoul it might be of use I should
have to think of before I got so far as Mittau. the following is
a Copy of the Baron's letter which I found here at my arrival
Mittau 25 Novembre 1779.
Sir
In answer to your obliging favour from Dantzig, I must"
"observe, that no letters are come yet for you, at our post Office; but"
"if should, you may depend on receiving them in Memel or Lieban"
"according your directions. Mr Offenberg has not advised me yet"
"of your arrival, I am therefore the more obliged to your kind"
"letter, & shall be much longing to make such an agreable"
"acquaintance.
I am with esteem
Sir your most obedt. humble"
Servant
B. Klopman."
To Saml Bentham Esqr
This is an exact copy the word has not was underlined but in the same
negligent manner. In my letter I had told him f that Baron
Ofenberg had already informed him of the my pursuits and the object of my Tour.
