Hamburgh. Octr 9th.
I arrived here about 2 o'Clock and as soon as I could
get myself dressed which was not till 5 I went to
Mr Hanbury's The whole family was in the country
at their house 2 or 3 miles from the Town. I was rejoied
to see my trunk and to find your letters. The shortest
and oldest date I read before I left the house as likewise
one from Mr Lindgren. The others I have am now
going to treat myself with and shall have taken
a fresh sheet of paper not to write down any thing which
may recur at the instant of reading them. I have
scarcely any thing for 2 or 3 days for my stomach has
been much out of order but I now better and have got
some coffee & bread & butter which is the first and shall
be the last I eat to day. Now I am going to enjoy myself:
I drink one dish and then to the letters.
Yes the Dutch are in a miserable plight - it is not for
the service they would be to us in supplying us with their
squadron that the demand was made. Sr Josh Y said
so. The making the demand seems to have been by Sr
Jes's adviser, indeed he as much as told me so.
John May has given me a little pamphlet of a description
of experiments he made with the Carronades. He appears
to have been consulted in these too.
