to Naples there are several others whose names I do not recollect - together
with yr. Cases I have shipp'd my basso releivo of ---------- for Mr. Grenville
and intend to drawing on him for the m(money?) as he (ha)s not done one the Honr.
to take any notice of my letters hitherto - I have also taken up twenty crowns
of your money of Mr. Jenkins with which I have defray'd a carpenter's bill a
Peruquiere's bill & the pencil man's bill - of the Carpenter's and pencil maker's
bill I have receipts but that of the peruquiere Mr Day never gave me - It was not my
intention to trouble Mr. Jenkins abt. this little Affair but cou'd not well help
it I suppose that before this time he has sent you the bill & you have paid the
money - the Carpenter's bill for the present cases I have not got yet - Miss
Hadfield out of all the Opera airs perform'd in Rome last season thinks nothing
worth sending for Mrs Sheridan but Amante <u>Amante</u> -; she has prepar'd that and
something new at Florence which is now performing - If I can get some of the
Serious Airs as soon as the Carneval of 1778 is finish'd I will & they will be
agreable present for any musical lady - the Compts. of the Season & Remain
Dr. Sr. Yr. very Oblig'd friend and Obednt. Servt.
