Our Failures indeed are uncommon and
very alarming, Campbell of Bellmount for
60,000 ₤ sterl.sterling &and AlexrAlexander Sheriff in Leith for
44,000 ₤. with the latter of whom Mr Lo-
thian is in for 15,000 ₤. not much regret-
edregretted, poor Thing! by any that I know of.
These Events cut deep, and, from the Great-
ness of the Sum, become, in some Measure,
national. May God amend the Times, &and
send us better Days; for never was more
pressing Need. May we be rendered fit to
receive such unmerited Blessings. Alas!
alas! we are come to the very Dregs of Times.

I have now some Reason to assure you,
that no Tampering will be used with your
Mr Smith. I took an Opportunity of Speak-
ing home to the Heart of the Clergyman
in EdrEdinburgh, who corresponds with him, &and en- 2012(2012)
joined him expressly to make no Offers or
Proposals to Mr. SSmith. He promised to observe
the Injunction. — Deus sit tecum tusiqꝫtuisque, Amen.

P.S. I Expect, there will be Something
curious &and interesting in the Decision agtagainst
the Printers &and Sellers of the plain &and bold
daily Paper, now to be judicially animad-
verted upon. The Pleadings must be of a
very uncommon &and delicate Turn; for, Facts
are very stiff &and uncomplying Things.
Once more A Dieu”.
