a compleat Chatamite, & fully acquainted with all your
Officers, & their several Characters, & Dispositions, & hope
you have been able to find some of 'em as agreable
to you as those you removed from — you will be
surpriz'd to find when I tell you, your Bro.th Charles is soon
to be a Kentish Man, tho' not like you a Man of
Kent - and that tomorrow Se'ennight, he go's into
Quarters at Shooters Hill, for two or three Month, with
your friend Mr Cowley — as well for the benefit
of the air, as for the opportunity it will give him,
of being acquainted with Arithmetic, & knowing
something of Algebra & Geometry, that he may not be
a mere Novice, in the Mathematics when he goes to
Oxford. - so that you will not be surpris'd if he shod
now & then, amble as far from thence as to you at
Chatham, by way of Exercise - for he is to be
absolutely prohibited from setting his Face once
towards London — least he should be taken up for
a Stragler & Deserter & committed to the Dormitory at
College - The chief purpose of his Absence from
Town & School is that He may figure away in the
Country & be no longer a man of Letters, unless
it be, to learn his A.B.C. in the Horn-Book of Algebra; by which means
he may be able to converse with you in the
Language of Signs — as your double Tide-work is
pretty well over, I hope you will find time to let
us hear from you, sometime next week, and if you
have heard any thing further, about the accomodations
