My dear Sam,

On Thursday the 6th inst. I wrote you a Letter to Portsmouth, upon the
publication of the Gazette extraordinary wch gave us an account of the late Engagement at Sea
& upon a Supposition yt our Fleet or part of it might return to Portsmouth to refit,
in that case I desired you wod send me what particulars you cou'd gather
at first hand, as the public as well as we ourselves were much disatisfied
with the printed account of that extraordinary action, but in case none of
our Ships were broght home further than Plymouth, I suggested to you in
my Letter that it might possibly answer to you to go to Plymouth, "if
you cod get a Passage thither by water. I find by your last which came
hither on fryday ye 14th, tho' directed to me at Petersfield instead of
Petersham, a mistake! I don't wonder at considering the hurry in wch
you must have wrote your Letter,
