better fight next Year than they did last. (a)
King arrivd in good health but has since been horribly mauld by the Gout, he brought many valuable Plants, I lament that those collected by Brown were left behind owing to Caleys obstinacy, I have written to him severely on this subject. There can be no pretence because these Plants have been entrusted to his care by Brown that they should not be sent to Europe by the first good opportunity. You mention in your last his having drawn upon me for Money, this Bill has not come to hand, would it not be advisable for you to instruct Mrs. Bligh from time to time how much I am in your Debt on his Account, I shall most willingly settle account with her as often as you will permit me to do so.
I am much alterd since you saw me, grown older & much more infirm, I think I shall not last much longer, I thank God I have had a long & a happy life, & that I am quite willing to resign it, at this moment I have no use of my left hand & not much of my legs.
