'' | Dear Sam<lb/> | ||
I was much pleas'd with your last Letter as it gave me to<lb/> | |||
understand, you had conform'd to the Recommendation of your Friends<lb/> | |||
M<hi rend="superscript">r</hi> Randall & Mr Pownell, for I think you have great reason to<lb/> | |||
rank the latter in that Number, by the great Civilities he has <sic>shewn</sic><lb/> | |||
you - and I hope you will not fail to make a point of<lb/> | |||
working & attending to the work alongside, some hours every day,<lb/> | |||
as it will answer the most material purpose for which you<lb/> | |||
are, where you are, and that you will consider it is the only<lb/> | |||
opportunity you will ever have, of making yourself an actual<lb/> | |||
Shipwright, & of knowing among other things, what is the Business<lb/> | |||
of a Quarterman, & how to perform it - since it may be absolutely<lb/> | |||
necessary for you to be a Quarterman, for a while at least -<lb/> | |||
when you are out of your time, if you have any notion of<lb/> | |||
continuing <add>throughout</add> in the Kings yard, and if not, the being a Quarterman<lb/> | |||
for a while, will contribute more to qualify you for a Merchants <lb/> | |||
yard, than you can be by any other means - tho' several of<lb/> | |||
your Friends here, such as M<hi rend="superscript">r.</hi> Denoyer, M<hi rend="superscript">r.</hi> Bromley of the<lb/> | |||
Navy office, & some others, seem to think you will hardly have<lb/> | |||

Dear Sam
I was much pleas'd with your last Letter as it gave me to
understand, you had conform'd to the Recommendation of your Friends
Mr Randall & Mr Pownell, for I think you have great reason to
rank the latter in that Number, by the great Civilities he has shewn
you - and I hope you will not fail to make a point of
working & attending to the work alongside, some hours every day,
as it will answer the most material purpose for which you
are, where you are, and that you will consider it is the only
opportunity you will ever have, of making yourself an actual
Shipwright, & of knowing among other things, what is the Business
of a Quarterman, & how to perform it - since it may be absolutely
necessary for you to be a Quarterman, for a while at least -
when you are out of your time, if you have any notion of
continuing throughout in the Kings yard, and if not, the being a Quarterman
for a while, will contribute more to qualify you for a Merchants
yard, than you can be by any other means - tho' several of
your Friends here, such as Mr. Denoyer, Mr. Bromley of the
Navy office, & some others, seem to think you will hardly have
perseverance enough to take on in the Kings yard when you
are out of your time -
