To Elmsly in answer to a Letter received from him
Novr 27.
1776

Dear Sir

I am much obliged to you for the
trouble you have so kindly taken on my account.
I am also obliged to the Gentleman
you mention for his intended favour. I am
flatter'd by his good opinion: but I take no Briefs.
To be plain with you it is some years sinceI have given over
I gave up practisepractise for some years. As the Gentleman seems
disposed to take a man's writings for a specimen
of his abilityies as an Advocate, suppose you were
to mention to him Mr Lind? He is called to
the Bar and practices.

I have heard from several quarters of the Fragments
being attributed to various persons of distinction
once to Ld Mansfield: several times
to Ld Camden and Mr Dunning. I would
wish for the present not to dissipate so favourable
an illusion. I could wish therefore that your answer
to the Gentleman might be to the effect abovementioned without
entering into any explanation by which it
would appear manifest to him that the Fragment
belongs not to any of those great names.
