Sir
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
condition for London, and consign the said Model
and case to the purchaser; the Risque of damage
per voyage, Capture by the enemy, all accident
and charge of Freight (the whole of which on such
advantagious an offer I think trifling, to be ingaged
for by the purchaser — I will consult the other
proprietors on, and think I may ingage for the
bargain. Please when in your power to let me
know if these terms are approved; worse will not be
accepted I am Sir your obliged Hbl servant
J Allin
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
proceeded on her Voyage.
2. From Lindgreen to J.B.
Portsmouth 25th Feby 1780
<p. Dear sir
I was in 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 has 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
---page break---
1 Money scheme, 2; V 2 &c 3. Chatham discharge. 4. with Farras
I shall write your Brother under cover
your cover by next post — I am very bad
correspondent indeed to him but the hurry
of the business I am ingaged in prevents my
attention to my friends and may make them think
they are forgotten and neglected when had I an
opportunity I should convince them the contrary
and believe me ever to be
&c
A Lindgren

Names of the persons concerned in drawing up the
Empress of Russia's code of regulations for the Government
of <gap/. province. Mr Lohmin.
1. Jacob Sievers then a Colonel (now Govr general)
a Livonian <lb/. 2. Baron Tiersen, a Land-rath in Livonia
3. Bemern (then or now? ) President of the Chief
college of Justice at Peterburgh — a Prussian.
4. Lichenhaupt — a Livonian.
4. G.W. Grove to Q.S. P.
Bear brother
I am greatly obliged to you for the <unclear>opportunity you have given me of being acquainted <gap/.
Sam's situation for which I began to
some uneasy apprehensions. As soon as I
your Pacquet I could not leave off till I had
read it through as every succeeding letter gave
me additional pleasure and entertainment
The reception and civilities he has received from
so many strangers are amazing. the recommendations
he and his friends had procured for him and more
particularly his capacity and address in supporting
them in due honor: and credit my </gap/>
sanguine expectations: a Court as easy
and familiar to him as a Coffee house, but the
caresses he receives at the former, which would
divert the minds of most young men to gaiety and
pleasure, seem to sharpen his attention to business
His plan for this Excursion appears to me now
more extensive than I at first imagined, and
I am glad to find he has spirit and address
sufficient to carry him through it. When he had
been at Petersburgh I suppose he will begin to
form some conclusions from the event of his Excursion
for I do not observe that he mentions anything
of that kind except an inclination of entering
into
