range in it. For four year's together — nevertheless
my dear Sam, be cautious of disobliging him; comply
with him in any respect, but that of working
along side more than you have been used to do,
for that I am satisfied, as well as you can
never answer to your real Improvement —
and shod he be nerverse in yh respect rather than
comply, I shod be willing to apply to the Navy
Board to get leave for you to remove to Portsmouth
or some other yard for ye Remainder of your
Time — Short as it is — but I hope for better
things than that there shod be occasion for such a
step —
I have no Intention of making any abatement
out of your Board for absent Time — but it will
not suit me to pay the half year till Christmas
any Drains the workmen are still in my House
and the Stair case not yet quite finished, - let
me hear from you soon as I shall be impatient
to know how matters go on between you & the Builder.
adieu my dear Sam & believe me
Your affectionate Father
