Asel

to the paper As to the paper in question, the matter (of the paper) arrangement of it
your Lordship will see is not very methodical of it is not very methodically arranged: which is the
less to be wondered at as it is a mere private
letter of friendship written without being so much
as asked for, & without th least idea of any
such honour as is now done to it: not that I can
say much indeed for either his method or his stile at
any time .. It stands b word for word as I received
it except that I have broken it down into paragraphs
equipped it with a set of marginal contents, &
at the conclusion given the heads of it in another order.
The marginal-contenting is a sort of hobby-horse operation exercise
of mine, which the weakness of my mental frame
forces me to practice upon all occasions: upon molehills as well as upon
mountains; since be a paper ever so short without it I can never
so much as fancy) fancy make myself master of the contents anything I either write or
read.) nor can I help fancying it useful at least to The result of it I think it would be useful in can not be entirely
useless to minds of stronger grasp, finding it so necessary to
my own.

The kind part your Ldship has been pleased to
take in what relates to him will I hope render
in it pardonable in me to have made this mention
of a young man who otherwise has so little
title to your notice claim to your remembrance.
