Dr Succoth
I am mightily surprised that
your day is not yet named, & this
makes me suspect some trick notwithstanding
of all these advantages
we have, so that you should in my
opinion preſs the Sherif to declare
himself; & represent to the Gentlemen
how unfair A way of proceeding this
is, it would be of great use to Daniell
that the debate between the Town
of Dumbarton & the Justices of the
Peace was revived, & the higher that
point can be run it would be the better,
I long to hear from you about
my Ensign.
I am
Yours &c
Ilay
