He will be able Sir to inform you of the many disadvantages I have experienced for the want of those sorts which would have completed the office—and which, wanting them, has been in many respects—an useless—&a very expensive one. He will also be able to state to you the prospects of your payment and give any other information you may require.

In my last Letter I mentioned some things which I fear has given displeasure, and been the cause of your long silence; Let me Hope you will contradict my fears on the occasion. With great respect and Regard I am Sir Your Humble Servant
