engagement at R. which he has since accomplished in breach of one with a lady at
Edinburgh. The method T. took to recompense D. was to pay whatever
discharge with my Brothers money what debts D. had contracted there for hats cloathes and other
such personal expences on pretence of the agreement he (T.) had drawn

at Cherson &c. No answer to all this: however Mr W.'s letter inclosing
your's & directed to the P.Master at Riga came through them with
their compliments in the cover. The way which The house which Sam quitted

as paid at the Custom-house, I think it was about half as much
again, as was really paid. This was discoverd by D. the false charges deducted and Sam has
the account here article by article. This in a manner cuts off our
communication with Riga. Benson's behaviour A great failure which had happ T's house were
