All the Ministries and prohibitions in the world will never hinder men going to the best market, as is seen by the contarband every where and which I hope your free trade will put an end to that infamous Coustoms house business which cramps industry: I hope Irland will be the better for your misfortunes, which I hope will be at an end soon by putting General Howe in the Pound and his Satalites, and making those wreches pay the burning and devasting a Country for sport, or they should never return to England. I shall soon have my Art of watch and Clock spring making in Print. I send you the preface to give you an idea of it.
