our next, Mrs Bontien delivered us Lieut. Middletons Note
of hand for £18.17.4. If we can meet with him will En-
deavour to get the Money for you but fear he will scarce
give us an opportunity, it’s said soon after his arrival
here he set out for Wales to reside there but what place
nobody can give us intelligence of, shall write to you again as
opportunity offers in the Interim we remain with respect
            Sir
          Your most humble Servants
          Lane & Booth
