Queen's College Tuesday 3d 1761.
Dear Papa
I wrote a Letter or at least part of one
last Night, but being fatigued and not finding any of my
Acquaintance I sat down to it so melancholy, & made it
such a Melancholy Letter I was resolved to day I would
not send it: I do not know when I wished for your Company
so much as then; or when I have been so low-spirited : but
a good Night's rest brought me to rights again.
Far from going to Oxford alone, we had one more in ye
Coach than our Complement; & I being in the Side where
there was three, and in the Middle, was pure n
Our Company were, one Mr Benham or Benhall, who
I guessed by his talking much of the Duke of Marlborough
and his Affairs to be a Steward or some
such thing to him; & A Sadler and his Wife & Sister
who lived at Woodstock, & took places for the top of
the Coach; & when Mr Benhall and I came in, offer'd
to go out of the Coach where he was with his Wife and
Sister; but being known to this Mr Benhall he was detained
within not very much to my Satisfaction as it ended
me, but as it was not disagreable and inconvenient
