I wrote you last week
by a friend, but soeso very confused-
ly, that I’m afraid you was at a
loss what to make of it, It hap-
pened that I did ^not know of his
being to set out, till he was Just
upon the point of takeingtaking Jour-
ney, SoeSo that I was obliged to
transmit you the very Scroll I
was determined to have kept for
myself, I therefore beg you ex-
cuse the haveinghaving been troubled
with Such a confused ScribleScribble, Since
if I had taken time to make it
more fit for your perusallperusal I
wou’dwould have lost ane opportunity
of Sending it that I did not know
when such anoyranother wou’dwould cast up,
But be asur’dassured I have not advanc-ed 935(935)
ed the least circumstance but
what is alltogetheraltogether consistent
wtwith my own knowledge to be fact.
I Shall be heartily glad to be
favoured with a Letter from you
acknowledgeingacknowledging the receipt of my
former, and if I find it will be
agreeable Shall trouble you yet
further wtwith Such facts as have
come to my knowledge, relative
to what you have in hand — I
Sincerely wish you all happiness,
as it will be my very great am-
bition to be esteemed
