Sat.y April 1st 1780
<p. Q.S.P. has been with me this morning and
has been reading your two Riga letters. Beyond
all hope he was much pleased with
them. I did not say a syllable expressive of
any mention about the article of expence. While
he was with me, came in also my Uncle:
who has been in town this fortnight after
having been in the country 11 months. Q.S.<lb/P P. after having received back his transcript
of your letters from my Uncle, sent them
to the Dr : from whom came yesterday a letter
expressing the highest satisfaction with them,
& apologizing for keeping them till the beginning
of May when he comes to town. Then
shall I at him for money for your honour,
and if all other expedients fail we will have
the whole Trinity meet together in Parliament
assembled, to consider about ways and
means.
Code
Know that this very blessed morning I
gave Hughes some of the copy of Code to
print. But the length of time it will take up

but 3 sheets a week. The Introduction, containing
what is common to Jurisprudence
I & Ethics I will send you before the rest. It
will contain all the general principles.
Alliance
We have it here that you are going to
send out 15 sail of the line, & 6 frigates to
our assistance, as soon as the ice permitts: tell
me what you can learn about that matter.
Progress <p. I heard a man say just now that the
Empress was to set out upon a progress through
her dominions in May next. tell me what
you hear about that affair.
Fir-Ships
The great difficulty is or at least used to be
at Petersburgh to get Oak. It used, it is said
to be brought an immense way. I think from
