| Description | States he has done all he could in recommending William's affair of the Sea Water to Mr Janssen, who has as good inclinations to encourage any scheme for the public good as any body he knows, but thinks he has neither power nor interest enough to introduce and patronize a scheme of this nature, and that it should be addressed to the Lords of the Admiralty or the Commissioners of Trade and Plantations. He observes that the Society for the Fisheries have enough on their hands at present to prepare and obtain redress of their affairs in Parliament.
He conceives the Society would not relish the introduction of this affair at present, it being less requisite to their short navigation than others, and therefore the scheme might lose much of its weight by being first moved by them alone.
Endorsed: '2 Last Lettrs &c To the Admiral'. |
