(seq. 2)

I have secured a pretty good credit in England, and
am offer'd by my friends here what goods I please
but I shall by very cautious in taking more than
I can see a prospect of turning into cash in time,
as I'm resolv'd to be punctual in my payments.

This will be deliver'd you by Mr Robert
Grant, One of our council at Halifax, a particular
friend and Acquaintance of mine. He is a very
worthy, sensible man, and as such I beg leave

that part of the world. But for a crowning shoke
we have now great reason to expect, and very
soon, the long wish'd reduction of Incbeck
and its dependancies - a might force, for this pur-
pose is preparing, and near ready. 24 sail of
the best ships of the Line are to be Employ'd, and
three regiments from hence are to be embark'd Mr

by sea. and General Wolf, that of the land forces
which are to operate the River Way, while General Amherst
