I know Mr. Fenwick & Mr. Larkins. I have long known Mr. L. by report; but had no personal acquaintance with him till 31 March 1791. I have known Mr. Fenwick since July or Aug: 1790, that is, from his late arrival at Calcutta I was applied to by Mr. Fenwick to carry a letter to Mr. Larkins first, last Febr or March. I n Feb or March about noon I recd a letter from Mr. Fenwick, containing a letter to Mr. Larkins, and a letter of instruction to myself.
