Content Description
He had been hoping for a report on Humphry's attempts at using sea bathing as a remedy for the weakness in his eyes. He has not been securing much work, the common saying of Physicians applies to him "I shall scarcely get bread until am without teeth to eat it". For this reason he is still unable to pay Humphry the debt he owes. He thinks it is
Capt. Meares fate to be engaged in warfare, although he thinks
Capt. Dixon a less formidable foe than the Spanish.
