Description
He is satisfied with the news from Capt. Wentworth that Obourn has arranged about the freight; asks him to receive all the freight and pay off all just demands on the calves, and hasten here so that they may not have to fit out the brigantine in winter again; Wentworth will have his own to dispatch and look after; if he can get there before Grangent goes to France he may get something for the ship; desires Brother Tiler to send all accounts relating to Grangent; it is not true that he has disparaged Obourn because of a bad voyage; whatever he had to say to a man he would say to his face.
