Thursday June 25 1778.
Hostilities you will know are
commenced at Sea; there are a
thousand different reports about
it.
Mr Sam Bentham Ward's Coffee House upon the Parade Portsmouth
As for the Doctor (Mulford) I see no particular end
it could answer to talk with him about the Russian scheme
Let us count our chickens before they are hatched to ourselves a la
bonne heure; but not aloud. You might if you wanted conversation
talk to him of it in the general, as a thing you
had in view: but mention not the particular steps that have
been taken with a view to it.
Your things went last night to the Bel Savage for
the Waggons. Alas! I forgot to put up the phial. But
there must be a necessity ere long to send another parcel;
and then I will remember better. If you send me peremptory
orders for Falconer's Dict.y it shall go; and then I will endeavour
to get the Phil. transactions from Lind.
D'Alembert and Helvetius I will enquire about and get
if Wilson will let me; which I almost doubt. I was going
t'other day to have bought a print of Don Jorge Juan
the author of the Spanish book on Ship building not yet
translated the Title of which begins "Examen Theorico-Practico",
but he patted me away. But I will get them all let him say
what he will — these eye-traps are of more use than one
can well imagine
