To Dr Brown concerning Benson 1787
Mansel when he saw him in London had offer'd to get him
a place of £50 a year, which his honour and so forth
forbade him to accept. This may be true, but if it was
I rather wonder I did not hear of it at the time. It
as his honour the precept
which forbad his
acceptance of the offer did
not forbid his mentioning
it
came out either then or afterwards that, unknown to my without my Brothers
Brother knowledge he had offer'd his services both to Prince Dashkof
and to Sir Rich.d : both of whom believed as was
proper declined the offer as you may imagine but without
mentioning it to my Brother. In conclusion he would
go to Cherson to try to get the money if my
Brother chose it, but that done no consideration
should keep him a moment in the country
after the first ship was ready to sail. This money
not was some money which my Brother had sent him
to change from Ducats into other money & which not
being able to find chapmen for he had trusted the
Admiralty men with who were not able to pay it
till a long time after they had engaged this proposition. My Brother
partly as a means of expediting payment, but
Falagin — went with
S.B. to Riga — came
back late
still more to get rid of a man who had worked himself
into such a humour, afterwards closed. Since then
not having been at Crichoff, nor he at Zadobras from
whence I write, I have never set eyes on him.
He chose his own Sargeant
S.B. broke him in
complaints.
As to the servitude he complained of, it consisted
in his doing those little offices about a house for which
he is but fit & for which he had himself interested
keeping keys, bottling of wine & in which he valued
himself, & the like. On the other hand he dined constantly
at my Brother's table, except when unknown to my
Brother he chose to step out of the parlour to go & dine
in the kitchen with the English Housekeeper after upon the reconciliation
of
Never declined any thing
except ordinary
has not the parlour
to dine here &
Officers now was here
mandatory
Perfect master of the
house command of every
thing & refused himself
has nothing
