[salute] Dear Sir
I am sorry this Town has fewer Charms for you than a Ship of War,— You surely will
have enough of the Sea on your Passage and methinks the Shore, now Nature is putting
on her most agreeable Dress, is capable of giving you more pleasure. If you think
the Situation of my House pleasant enough, you may be as compleatly Commander of it
as you can be of any Frigate in the Service.
You may remember I mentioned to you how far I had interested myself for the Officers
who came over in the Flagg. I inclose Doctor Franklins Answer, and one of them comes
to you to lay before you how far they necessarily require releif.
1 The next Step I think should be to let them go on board Ship directly to avoid any
further Expence. But of this you are the best Judge.
Remember me to Jack. I am very respectfully & sincerely Dear Sir Your most obedt.
Servt
