Dear Sir
I have been in a Thousand Perplexities during the last
Month – I fear my Difficulties will know no End –
All things are coming upon me at once; & a
Turn of good Order, without any Turn of Money
is as fatal as lack of Imployment altogether.
I have given you Credit for Bees’ [illeg]
I hope to have an Interview with the Proprietor
of {?Holbein} this Week –
Mr Singleton has my warmest wishes & there is
nothing within my Power that I will not do
for him.
I thank you most sincerely for thinking of me
in respect to the Purchase of Libraries; I will
endeavour to deserve your Kindness –
And now my Dr Sir with Assurances of a complete
Reform in my Correspondence I remain with
Kindest Respects to your family
Yours most sincerely
W Sancho.
