You know well how I employ much
of my Time, &and how anxious I am
to make up as compleatcomplete &and exact
a Collection as possible of some
certain memorable Events, &c.etc. &and
therefore, I hope, I need not to use
many Words to prevail with you to
give me all the Assistance in
your Power. You told me, you intend-
ed to take up your Abode in Egg or
Canna, which if you do, then it will
be in your power to make up an ex-
act Account of the severe Pillag-
ings &and Plunderings that were com-
mitted in these Islands. You know, I like much 1393 (1393)
much to have every Thingeverything minutely
&and circumstantially narrated. Forget
not then to give the Names of
those, who were principally con-
cerned in pillaging Egg &and Canna,
such as, Officers of Sogers, com-
manders of Ships, Sloops or Yachts.
Be mindful likewise to make
as exact a Calculation as you can
of the Damages sustained by the
Inhabitants of these two Islands.
In a Word, send me an Account
of every Thingeverything you can have well
vouched. I need not point out
Particulars to You; for well do you
know what I want, &and what will
suit my Taste.
