means to continue I believe for some time, as he feels he
can be provided with all manner of Eatables &c & just as he
without the least trouble—but how long he —
proposes to there I can't to say, & perhaps
he do't yet know himself. For my own part I make myself
happy with the thought that he is so. He
& then came upon me without our ever having
& in at Breakfast or Dinner but it is not
he has anything to communicate to me that he
will give me pleasure, I believe he never fails to
do it.
Since his Account I was happy to receive of the active
part you took in the two Engagements with the Turks, on
the Occupier, and of your Promotion in consequence of it —
I have been lead to consider you more in the Character
not only of a Soldier, & but of a Commander too, and finding that there
have lately been published two Military Treatises —
Each in two Volumes very large octavo with a number
of Plates to them for the Reformation of
& , to which have the name of all all the Principal
officers of our Forces, prefixed to them or one of them
<add> who are subscribers</add> as a means of encouraging the Publication for the
purpose of enabling the Editors to bear the Expence
of the Publication I have purchased them, in hope
they may be of some use to you, as a Field Officer
and intend to make use of the first opportunity I
can meet with of sending them to some Friends of
yours at Petersburgh in hopes that from thence
they may find their way to you at Chernon
The one cost me 2 gns the other near as much
and I shall be much concerned A & disappointed
to have them necessary & not come to your hand.
and desire you will not fail giving me
of receiving by a Letter from you as soon as they shall
have come to yo0ur hand.
