not to be seen by Q.S.P. or could not you make
him send it me himself.
A day or two I had a sanghir in the morning
& who should it be but our cruz. of Woolwich.
However he <gap/. is a great man now, having
been round the world on the last expedition: he was
Capt. Clerk & Purser on board the smallest ship, &
has made some little money by it. He was strongly
recommended by his Capt. (now dead) to the Pres.
of the Joy. Soc: of whose on board the
ship he has had the charge:& who has in consequence
promised him his interest with the great
man in that time. He is just now gone from
me. He has been drinking tea here after dining
with Q.S.P. The creature is a good deal improved
since he ahs been abroad,
& from that circumstance is become worth talking<lb/. about with. a great he is
vastly communicative intelligent. He has
told me a number of , some of
which may be to you where you are.
These perhaps I may give you some account of ,
but if I do it shall be in a spate letter
for obvious reasons.
Composing. Method Of.

strips of paper which you so much
you seem not to recollect that it is the
I set out with, & gave up several years ago
from my experience of the inconvenience of it.
If your slips of paper are not all of a size, a
collection of them makes the greatest Babel
imaginable: if they are, they will be either
small or large: if small, one single subject
will sometimes occupy a number of them.
There is then the greatest plague imaginable in
keeping them together & preventing
