Intrusted with powers, that but too often ex [mutilated] ed
harshly produce discontent, and generate digust [mutilated] ith
the naval service, by injuring the commerce th[mutilated] are
meant to protect; that part of the community wh[mutilated]re
concerned in the shipping in this port, wish me to ex[mutilated]
on their part, how deeply they feel, by our ex[mutilated]
that a systematic propriety of conduct, supported by th[mutilated]
correct pinciples, and embellished by suavity of t[mutilated]
and the most gentlemanly manners, can conduce to re[mutilated]
the necessity that the war occasions, for seamen so[mutilated]
navy with the interest, and even with the convenien[mutilated]
the trade; both of which are but too often sacrificed [mutilated]
I am farther commissioned, my dear Sir! to pr[mutilated]
for you, such token of their high respect and regar[mutilated]
may be most gratifying to your wishes; for which pu[mutilated]
I hold One Hundred Johannes, which I shall, w[mutilated]
first convenience, remit to my much respected f[mutilated]
Mr. James Baillie, of Bedford-Square, [mutilated]
to signify, through me, or by direct communicatin,[mutilated]
objects of its appropriation.
If, my dear Sir, I fail in conveying to you the [mutilated]
expression of good-will of this whole commu[mutilated]
shall still fall more particularly short in express[mutilated]
grateful sense I feel in being honoured with you indi[mutilated]
and intimate friendship, while the public serv[mutilated]
detained you among us. I shall look back on the[mutilated]
[illegible] a mixture of pleasure and regret, as I trust [mutilated]
forward, with a full hope of its permanency, [mutilated]
ever we may happen to be thrown; being, with [mutilated]
sentiment of respect and regard,
My dear Sir!

MY DEAR SIR!
I am duly favoured with [mutilated]
[illegible]ter of yesterday's date, conveying to me the [mutilated]
which His Excellency the Governor, the majority of [mutilated]
most respectable inhabitants of these Colonies, and [mutilated]
Masters of the merchant ships in the port, have [mutilated]
pleased to confer on me, by evincing so flattering a [mutilated]
of my condut, during the period His Majesty's [mutilated]

manner in which they are desirous of having the[mutilated]
timents recorded.
In the performance of my public duties, it is [mutilated]
highest degree gratifying to me to find my intention[mutilated]
so far succeeded as to have gained the [mutilated]
esteem of His Excellency the Governor, and the [mutilated]
respectable inhabitants of these Colonies; the kind[mutilated]
handsome token of whose approbation I accept with [mutilated]
and pleasure, as a memorial of their regard: [mutilated]
such a token was necessary to recal to my mind the[mutilated]
[mutilated]membrance of the friendly anh hospitable [mutilated]
[mutilated] ever experienced during my stay on this [mutilated]
[mutilated]ve made a deep and lasting impression.
[mutilated] leave the election of the token these G[mutilated]
[mutilated]ous of presenting me, to my choice, I [mutilated]
[mutilated]y dear Sir, by your requesting your [mutilated]
[mutilated] procure for me a good Time-keeper [mutilated]
[mutilated]will be of great professional utility, I shall[mutilated]
[mutilated]you to consult without recurring to the[mutilated]
[mutilated]urs I have passed in the society of De[mutilated]
May I intreat you, my dear Sir, in my name, to express my sincere thanks to His Excellency the Governor and the Gentlemen whose names you have inclosed to me, and to assure them how warmly and anxiously I shall ever wish for their health and prosperity, as well as for those of all the inhabitants of these Colonies.
Allow me now, my dear Sir, to address myself to you individually, and to assure you, that, if any thing could add to the gratification I feel in thus receiving the general expression of the good-will of this whole community, it is the circumstance of these Gentlemen having deputed you (who have honoured me with your intimate friendship, which I so duly appreciate, and which will ever be to me a source of pleasure) to communicate their flattering sense of my conduct.
Accept, my dear Sir, my heartfelt and grateful acknowledgments for all your kind attention to me, and my unfeigned and sincere wishes for every happiness to attend you.
In the hope that we may, ere long, meet in a mor favoured clime,
I remain, my dear Sir"
