Critchoff June 16/27 1786
Hon:d Sir
This goes by a private opportunity which occurs for Riga
from whence we desire it to be forwarded by the first ship. The inclosure
directed to Mr Carew you will be kind enough to convey to him. It
accounts for and in part supplies the deficiency he accused me of.
Pray what papers accompanied his manuscript which you deliverd
to him? Was there not the copy you took or a part of it, and some
continuation of it by another hand?
As Beatties letter afforded you some amusement, I embrace this
opportunity of sending you a copy I have got taken for the purpose
of the draughts he had preserved of some more of them. I
might be worth rather more to you perhaps than as it is, could I
employ my time in the same manner; but besides giving my Brother
an helping hand my own business goes on as briskly as ever it did at
Lincoln's Inn: the sooner it is done the sooner you will see me which
if not late in the autumn will I hope be early in the winter: so that
upon the whole it may be as well to you I should work on like a good
boy, as be idle and write pretty letters.
For fear of accidents I will not omitt acknowledging by this opportunity
the receipt of yours of May 6th, though my acknowledgment
of it by the post will I expect come sooner to hand than this. I have
heard nothing from Mr Mulford, who you say in a former letter
talked of writing to me; You do not say expressly, but you give me
reason to conclude that you communicated to Ld Lansdown some
