arranged, but I thought it best to state them as they
arose; and though some of them separately considered do not appear very important, yet when viewed

believe that the length of this, and the ciphers used
in it, have fatigued me a good deal.
All the ciphers in this letter are those in which I
correspond with Mr. Morris, and the only ones I have
received from him. They were brought by Major
Franks, and marked No. 1. Several of my former
letters to Mr. Thomson and you mentioned that
his cipher was not to be depended upon. The copy
of it, brought by Mr. Barclay, which is the only copy

On the back of the packet there was this endorsement: "Bilboa, April 3d, 1782, brought and forwarded by your Excellency's very humble servant,
Andrew Stockholm." Notwithstanding this, it was
marked Paris by the post-office, and charged with
postage accordingly, viz., one hundred and six reals
