Ld L. desires me & ; Dine at L. House tomorrow on Wednesday; being the first
day of meeting of a weekly club meeting proposed to be formed of the friends
of freedom liberality<add>the "new principles"</add> or as some would say of mischief What shall it
be called? the New - Principle Club, the Regeneration club the Shilon
Gullican Society. Miss T. is too much on our side to betray us to her
Uncle Charles or even which would be the same thing to her Brother
If they get hold of us how we should be prevented in the Morning
Post, Gazetteer what fine portraits there would be of us in the opposition
papers?
Ld L. would likewise have me stay Thursday, to meet Mr Farby
and Mr Agar; because Mr T has collection of Statues, &
Mr A. of picture. What are they to me, who know no more of statues
than a statue of pictures than a picture? I won't stay a minute
longer for any such idleness When I have for Henry. When I have given yesterday to day to curiosity
and tomorrow to political sympathy, my disposable some will be run
out. Since Miss F. condescended to accept a share of it, it is become
a sacred thing in my eyes, and is shall not to be profaned to vulgar uses.
If these letters fruits of my indiscretion should be betrayed are ever mentioned to Ld L. first for the joke sake try him with
some of the particulars of any such there should be which are not mentioned
in his letters, without letting him know whence from got them, and be see how impressed
he will be the joke though suggested by me, being purified by the lips through
which it passes, will not be of the number of my forlock axes?
