Dear Sir

Accept my humble thanks for

your kind letter ; I was not expecting such

a favour as your moments must be very

precious to yourself and friends — I was

surprised, as you apprehended, on hearing

it was doubtful, whether you would depart

by the Kangaroo — I then supposed

you disliked to be in company with

certain characters, most likely to be your

[mess mates?] — Tho' I should like you to have

unexceptionable companions. I think you

should not disappoint yourself of a quick

embarkation, as something might occur
