My dear T.

Thank you, I was just going to send you down some books, and the compass of the ‘Don Juan,’ which I believe belongs to Captain Roberts; if there is anything of yours on board the ‘Bolivar,’ let me know, that I may send it or keep it for you. I don’t know how our account stands; you will let me know if there is any balance due to you that I may pay it. I am willing to make any agreement with a proper person in the arsenal to look after her, and also to have the rigging deposited in a safe place. I have given the boy and one of the men their clothes, and if Mr. Beeze had been civil, and Frost honest, I should not have been obliged to go so near the wind with them. But I hate bothering you with these things. I agree with you in your parting

sentence, and hope we shall have better luck another time. There is one satisfaction, however, which is, that the displeasures have been rather occasioned by untoward circumstances, and not by the disposition of any party concerned. But such are human things even in little; we would hardly have had more plague with a first-rate. No news of any kind from England, which don’t look well.

Yours, ever and truly,
N. B.
