Alas my dear Sam! the scheme I mention'd in my
last has failed — I mean however only the individual scheme; for
somthing of that sort I have still strong hopes of. Rose
the Parson who we were in hopes would have taken
us in, (at least one of us) could not— however he was
very civil and communicative - and told us of another
place, which if the good gods should have kept it
vacant, will suit us almos I can not say quite
but however almost as well - a place about 6 miles
distant — an apartment in a farm house, that once was occupied
by Rousseau: and has room in it for two. The name
of the village Abinger - 2 miles from Dorking —
The country (I understand) delightful — Rose thinks
it is not now occupied — he knows it was not in April
Tomorrow we set out in quest of it
I have sent thee a Pound of Ft rep Alkali
bought under the denomination of Salt of Tartar —
It cost 2s
The Leather is for my shoes The two skin's cost
6s.9d each The man told me they would make
about 3 pair each - They were bought at Strry's
Snow-hill —
Ask the man shoemaker how many pair they will make; before
you tell him this how many the Leather seller said they
would. Ask him too how much he will abate in the
pair for my finding my own leather.
