Hond Sir ー

I expected long before this, to have had Capt Martindale Out on his Cruise,² but the Weather so extremely bad, for a Fortnight past that we have not been able to do any thing of consequence, have at Length got him almost compleat & Expect he will Sail tomorrow evening if the Weather is Suitable

I Shall proceed to Cambridge as Soon as this Vessell is Ready to Sail ー in the mean time I am Sr [&c.]
