See No 15
Sir
<p. I remember you formerly mentioned thro' Mr
Marshal that a person of his acquaintance
had offerd
70£ or Guineas for the 1st Rate Model
and case which I then thought — and still do not
worth acceptance; but if the said party or any other
person of honour will deposit with you or Mrsuperscript text
Marshal 100 Guineas, tho' not half the value,
I will ingage to ship the same in good
P.S.
the Vendors to have right of claim the 100 Guineas
on bringing proof of the said Model and case being
shipped and consignd where order'd, with the best account
he can procure when the Ship, who received them
proceded on her Voyage.
2. From Lindgreen to J.B.
Portsmouth 25th Feby 1780
I wasin London about 3 weeks ago on
very particular business & intended to have
waited on you in order to have had a long
conversation with you on the subject of your
and your Brothers interesting letters. Unfortunately
I was obliged to quit London before I could effect
my business or have the pleasure of seeing you.
I proposed being in town the middle of this month,
but the Cartel business for the French prisoners
detained me, and I now fear it will not be in my
power to</del. be in London before the middle of next month
till which time it would be very wrong to detain the
letters you was so obliging to permit me the perusal
of, therefore must send you, what I proposed delivering
myself — My friend Lohman hs often mentioned
to me about sending them — to tell you the truth I do
not reconcile it to myself sending them at all and
shall be anxious till you acknowledge the receipt of
them — I do not like sending what are so very <lb/. interresting to you and myself more so on account
of having been in those countries and your Brother
will never forgive me should they be lost — I however flatter myself they will come safe to your <lb/ hands
