Dear Papa
I received your letter of the 8th instant, which indeed
did not give me so much pleasure as your letters usually do, as
it disappointed me of my expectations of your coming hither;
tho' indeed considering the uncertainty of human affairs, (and
especially of yours,) I did not entirely depend upon it. I had put
my Room in as good order as a College Chambers will admitt
of, which is not extraordinary; we have such bad attendances.
I enquired of Skeet last Sunday whether Mrs White
was come to Oxford; but he could not tell me; however we
agreed to go to the Master's in the afternoon together. as I was returning
from Baliol I met the Master himself; who told me
Mrs White had been there a Week, and ask'd me to dine
with them; but I could not accept of the invitation, as I was
engaged to Dr Bentham's; I intend to wait on them to day.
Mr Pickering with his two Sons Toby and Joe have a..have been
here these two or three days, and go out of town to morrow.
