Summary
Discussing his needs for cash while he is in Germany and when he continues to Amsterdam; explaining a previous request for funds which were "...on account of a Bargain I had made with a Venetian noble; But alas they repented of their Resolution to Sell, entirely changed their minds, & even refused more money which I had agreed to give them. However, I am not without hopes that it may Come about Sooner or later;" arranging to have his mail forwarded and alerting them to the possibility that they may need to pay a bill for something he purchases for Lord Hopetoun.
