waggon to this place , which will remove one of the greatest inconveniences we labour under * I shall very thankfull y * by Mr . Johnson , pay for the hygrometer ,
or any thing else that you shall be so goo * as to purchase for me . And as you are pleased to say yoii wilf supply me with any vessel , for the ' use of my experiments , made of glass , I shall take the
liberty to inform you that that part of my apparatus ( which was very complete ) has suffered exceedingly in its conveyance hither , owing chiefly to injudicious packing , large thin glasses having been filled with smaller without sufficient
stuffing , so that allthe shades or bell-glasses , with which your fatter liberally supplied me , are almost all broken , and more than half of theyars of my electrical

go within th ^ rn will jus t as well , and lessen the bulk of the package . * , . I have lost also the receiver for the guinea and feather , and a set of glass tubes with large bulbs at the end , which I used in the
experiments I last published on thf generation of air from water , the stems aboy t half an inch wide and thirty inches long , and the bulb made to hold a quart or two quarts of water . They were made for me at Russell ' s glass-house . Some of those with smaller bulbs

state of peace , in consequence of which the country enjoys an unexampled state of prosperity , the advancement in population , and improvements of all kinds , being beyond auy thing that the world
ever saw before , I earnestl y wish your situation and prospects were as good . For though 1 have found a happy asylum Eere ^ I consider it in no other light . I
feel myself as in a state of exile ^ and my best wishes are for my native country and my friends there * With every good wish to your father and yourself , I am youf's , sincerely , J . PRIESTLEY .
