Steventon Oct:r 20th 1765
Hond Sir
When your letter came to Browninghill, I was
at this place, & did not go there till friday forenoon, at which
time my Aunt was gone to dinner to Mr Mackrith's, & my
Uncle preparing to follow her thither, from whence he was to
proceed to Whitchurch. upon communicating to him & afterwards
to my Aunt, your commands for my return I found I could not conveniently be conveyed
to the 8 mile stone at the time you appointed, &
must therefore beg your acceptance of this letter instead
of myself; but the beginning of next week they promise to
send me. I had walked it hither from Browninghill on
Wednesday, & returned there on friday on Mr Mulford's
Horse, & came back here again yesterday, which I should
have done the same day I went, had it not been for the receipt
of your letter, which occasioned me to stay to see my
Aunt. both my Aunts were very much astonished at the
unexpected account of More's ill behaviour; but when I
mentioned your hint to me about writing to Mr Browne,
we were at a loss to conceive of what a letter at this time
could consist; or what could be the intention of it, unless it
were to invite myself to his house, which would come rather
