Tuesday morning - No - Wednesday my Father tells
me it is.

It was not till just now that I took notice of that passage
in your last where you tell me you shall not come up
till you hear from me. The word "not' was broken off
with the wafer — That passage out of the question, I
expected you of course. It is worth half - a Crown a
word to write to you — I have cursed Tooth-ach
Ear-Ach &c that has plagued me more or less for
near a week. Your shirts did not come to town till Saturday
I had them not till yesterday. I have not yet opend
the box. As you are to be in town yourself it were as
well you should be yourself at the buying of the purse
Your glasses I believe were done on Friday — but as
yet I have got home but two of them When I read
your last it was in a hurry, and catching up the circumstance
of your being to come to town so soon I thought nothing
of sending to you any of your things — Indeed part of
that passage was almost illegible, and part covered by
the wafer. I am a miserable sleeveless being just
now, waiting for determinatives. I am vibrating between
two tooth-drawers: and between tooth-drawing & no
tooth-drawing. Not that the pain frightens me: for
it would be a pleasant sensation at the first to have the
offender griped: and the pain that succeeded it would be over
in an instant - But my face gum is swelled a little: & I
am in doubt whether in that case extraction is proper
or would indeed effect a cure. It is the last tooth in my left
