Note 6 — Chapter III
Reading edition
“In the present suspicious state of the King’s mind respecting us, I fear it would be impolitic to make the enquiries you ordered in your instructions. I think it will be more prudent to leave them to time. Mr. H. if he remains, will be able, from time to time, to obtain such information as they can give, without creating that suspicion which would certainly arise from any questions put at the present moment. I have kept Mr. H’s hammock men, as it is yet uncertain whether he will remain.” Mr. James’s Dispatch.
