I forgot to observe to you that what Sam said about his
Russians not being trouble-worthy had was in reference to the extension
plan chalked out in your letter: which seemed to half-
frighten & half-please him. He wonder'd how not, Philosophy
& Chymistry, but particularly Chymistry should be of use, at
least how they should be necessary: however a few words were
sufficient to convince & satisfy him.
Q.S.P. with whom I dined to day is so hot upon
the Rondalhan scheme, that he does not much care to
hear of any other. Even the £170 that might be had from
the 2 pupils has no charms for him. He knows
of the bad payment of the Russ: allowances; & we are agreed that
you must take care not to be in advance to them, nor to give
them your credit with tradesmen & people when they board.
How it would be with Allan: I can't say. As to Ratigen I
should be in no pain for about him, as the G.D. will certainly
take care of the people that belong particularly to him.
I have just been trudging to Bond Street & got
the pamphlet on the of floating bridges, & there letters
were met with a little pamphlet on Air & advances
which I thought might possibly contain some hints
that might be of use for Div. Scheme.
I shall send you likewise a paper on Gunnery which
Swede received this morning as a present from the author
J.G. Pringle. I thought it might be of use for you to shew
to Dr Lind. It must be returned.
