Advises that Joseph Simpson made more than £1000 is prize money during the last war which was invested into shipping but during the last year, the improvidence of his temper has prevailed and his shipping interests have been sold, and from Simpson's own account, much of his money has been dissipated and he is now living in 'disgraceful debauchery'.
