[1] 28th June 1825
My dear Sir
I am this moment favord with
your letter of 19th June & lose no time (as today is foreign post & near the home) in acknowledging it; defining till next post my answer to most of the subjects of it. I am very much gratified by the very satisfactory account you give of my son. He was always bashful, and xxx but I hope will get over his shyness and enjoy the benefit of your kind disposition to communicate instruction to him
I am very desirous that he should learn to swim; & shall be much obliged by your making arrangements for his being instructed in that very desirable art.
Sir Alexander Johnston is abroad; at least I have not heard of his return from a little excursion undertaken by him. When he does I will ascertain his wishes as to his Sonʼs learning to swim. I scarcely [2] doubt of his wishing it
On receipt of
your former letter I apprised my bankers that your next draft would be for 70£ If it should be for something more, pray advise me of it, in time, and I will instruct them accordingly
I am
Dear Sir
very sinc
ly Yours
HColebrooke
