from Ripley. After a variety of toil and disappointment,
we have at least fixed upon a place which promises to
answer our respective purposes very well. It is a neat
house enough at a place called Fetcham, a mile
and a half from Leatherhead, where you and I slept in
our in our vehiculo-pedestrian return from Portsmouth
to London. It is about 6 miles from Ripley - about
19 or 20 from London. We go there on Monday or Tuesday.
I shall go to Ripley on Monday to shew my horses
and so on between Monday and Friday as often as I
can get license or pretence. The country about at Fetcham
is pleasing; a mile or two from Fetcham, enchanting.
The apartment we are to occupy is at a neatish
house enough kept by one Wells and his wife: Wells
is Gardener to Sr G. Warren whose house is close by.
Concerning Q.S.P.'s disposition towards you, data at
present I can give you none: no incident has happen'd
of late to occasion your being mentioned: our conversation has
been engrossed by my affair. I shall go to Richmond Park
on Sunday, where I shall meet Ald:n Clark & uxg. At Rich
I shall probably sleep that night & so for Ripley the next
morning.
Wilson was grunting and groaning by my side, without a
morsel of skin upon his backside. The utmost we have ridden in
the two days is 50 miles and yet such is the condition he is in, we are almost
apprehensive of a fever.
