I have just this instant received a letter from Q.S.P.
dated July 8th 1790. He mentions you that you are well
and it is a great satisfaction to hear of your existance.
This letter is short and the object of it to give me an extract
from the London Gazette of 21r of May of the defeat of the
Russian Privateer squadron and the narrow escape of Major
unless observations the great confidence we put in
might as well have been spared. This great success
before seem more than sufficient to counterbalance the
effect that this instance of failure can have on his
character as an Enterprising Privateer: and I hope
are has been taken to secure to us who proprietors
some profit from the immense prizes he took
in the beginning.
If I were to move heaven or earth I might succeed in my
attachment here but I think it more admirable to
see England first if it be possible.
After a tender parting in which there
seemed more than friendship I set off
Augr 22d 1790
Adieu
