There is a theorem for you; which considering the proficiency you

you know the fable of the dying man with his sons, and
the bundle of faggots.

& Ld Sandwich have been: and Keppel bearing the most honourable
testimony to the conduct of Ld Howe.
I have heard by Elmsly's means of a not improbable method of conveying
Code to Berne by the Post franco: which would give me till
within a fortnight of July in point of time. I am going to write
about it to the Secretary Treboulet
I have bespoke for you a copy of that book I mentioned
to you in my last giving an account of the methods at used to execute a great work relative to Shipbuilding (something of the
Dock kind) by sinking a vast frame of woodwork under water
It will apply to Div. Scheme Elmsly wrote for it last night
It was at Carlscrona in Sweden. get the Crit. Review by all
means.
