I shod have answer'd my dear Jerry's agreeable & entertaining
Letter to me at Weymouth, while I was there, if I cod have concluded
with any certainty where to direct to him; & at the arrival of Mr.
Clark's to me, I was gone with a Party of Ladies & Gentlemen to the
Isle of Purbeck, to see that most antient & confessedly most respectable
Piece of Ruins in the Kingdom, Corfe Castle; upon my Return
back to Weymouth I had reason to think you were both decamp'd
from Bristole. I am much pleas'd with the Account Mr Clark
has given me of your friendly Reception at Mr Vernon's wch. I

and the general Repair, wch. makes it very troublesome and
disagreable being here but wch I hope will pay me in the Satisfaction I
flatter myself with the Enjoyment of in Consequence of it -
Since my Return, I have been greatly engag'd in preparing
for the approaching Change of my Condition, but not so
engag'd in that as to be unmindful of my dear Jerry,
for whom I have been anxious to provide, as far as
my ability will extend, a decent & comfortable Situation
of Life and to Intrust him with the means to that End independent of
every Consequence that may possibly happen to myself
and for that purpose I have already made & Executed
