friend and benefactor; and taking an affe&ionate 
and final leave of the worthy C* MfLatche and the 
whole trading company, we fet fail in a neat little 
fchooner for Frederica in Georgia, about the laft of 
September. We had a pleafant and prolperous 
voyage down the grand river St. Juan's, frequently 
vifiting the plantations on the banks of the river,' 
efpecially at fuch times as oppofed by contrary 
winds; and according to promife did not negleCt 
calling on the generous and friendly Mr. Marlhall 
who received me fo politely, and treated me with 
fuch unparalleled friendfhip and hofpitality, when!

We never once went out to fea during the 
voyage ; for when we had defcended the river be-

nel between Fort George ifland and the main, 
through which we pafled, and continued failing be-

honourable Henry Lawrens, Efq; had a large fhip

that Mr. Lawrens was daily expected in a vefiel of 
his own, at his plantations on Broton Ifland and 
New Hope, in order to take a loading of rice for 
the cargo of the fhip at Sunbury, I tranfported my 
collections to Broton ; where meeting with Mr„ 
Lawrens, he generoufly permitted me to put my 
things on board his velTel, and gave me room with
