This will accompany my former Letter of the 4th Instant,1 which you will perceive to be so written, as that it may be shewn if necessary to the spanish Minister. You will make such Use of it as Prudence may dictate. I would gladly now give you Details of our Situation and Plans for reforming it But I have not yet sufficiently obtained the one, nor mastered the other. Whenever I am in Capacity to apprize you fully of these Things, you shall hear from me at large on the Subject. At present I can only inform you that a Sum of hard Money will (from particular Circumstances) afford us Relief, and turn to our Advantage far beyond what might be supposed from the Amount. Altho I have stated the Demand at five Millions, yet you will take as much as you can obtain, though it be far short of that Sum. But at the same time I repeat, that a very small one is not worth the Acceptance. Knowing our Wants to be great, you will judge properly as to what we can accept consistently with our own Dignity. I enclose you a Cypher, and with the Duplicates of my Letters I will send you another. Should both arrive safe you will be so kind as to hand one to Mr Carmichael letting me know which you keep and write by, viz whether it be No. 1 or 2. I am very sincerely yours &c
