Osgood, and the young Captain were there. Mr. Osgood, and I were very sociable together; it was the first Time, I have had any Conversation with him. I was told my friend W. Warren, had return’d from Lisbon, and arrived at Boston last Wednesday.

Mr. White had a Vessel in at Newbury Port from the West Indies.

Leonard goes for Cambridge to-morrow morning.
