I have promised Professor Busch to give him
one of my green glass globes. They are both
in the Chemical clent. You can have a box made
for one of them and put what you may have occasion
to send to this place within. Upon second thoughts
I dont know but one what one or both of these
globes is not on one of the shelves near the sink.
direct them to Professor Busch at the Commerical Academy Hamburgh.
You may at the same time send any Queries to Mr Norman
Berlin. Octr 1779
Your many determinations and many more dif-
-ferent intentions I sat out at last for this place
and arrived last night. Had the Vessel
which I expected to have gone by from ...
to D.... sailed at the time .. there was
all the reason to think it would have sailed I
should by this time have reached my journey's
end, and is the most agreable and least expensive

detained day after day meeting for this Vessel
and am at last sat out to make my journey
in the most disagreable & expensive manner.
I am quite out of humour with things in general, or at

journey. With respect to information to be sure upon the
whole I have picked up some that may be very usefull
while I was at Hamburgh, and besides I made some
very usefull acquaintance besides the Hamburgs: but then
I spent so much time .. there.

I then set out to continue my journey by way of
Dantive & Kongingsburg, but as Stettin will be a
good deal out of my way I dont believe I shall go
there.

Mr Elliot the English Minister is not here, so that
his Secretary Liston is chargè des affaires. I dined
with him yesterday. He seems to be a sensible clever
man in his way. There were some officers at Table and
an english young English Captain of not quite 18 a Son of
General who at ...... Gage. When I called
on Liston the day before the estimation happened
to ... on Lind's answer to the french memorial
which he spoe of as by far the best political pub-
-lication that which we have had this long time.
He said it had done more good than could be conceived
to the English cause in this port of the world.
He had sent it to many people in this part of the
world who confess that this opinion was

What think you of Naval Alexeterics for the

Praesidia Malorum navalicum or rather Nauticorum.
Prophylactics I dont think is quite opposite.
