Wednesday

You may send me a pair of Shoes when you send the
tooth powder

What you say about the Chymical apparatus I will think
of. — Oh — let me see— Ay, that must be the case. It must
wait till you come to Town, and then we can pack it up together.
Without assistance I should never have the courage to
undertake it.

I rejoice to hear so good an account of Ship-building. About
communicating the plan to the P's I don't know very well what advice to give
you. I can't very well form a judgment about the matter without
seeing them. But I do not at present see any inconvenience that
seems likely to ensue from it, taking care before hand to put
your title to it out of doubt. And I think you are likely to
reap many advantages from their concurrence in the execution.

Friday, 17th.

Alas! my poor dear Sam - how I do grieve for thee. I can share -
I cannot but share in every body's afflictions; but what is it that I
can do to remove them? After what you have written I will not
delay an instant in writing to you: and nor will I fail to come to you
if by return of post you tell me of your continuing to wish it.
I send you now forthwith (to help drive away the evil spirit) the
quantity of stuff I have been scribbling at different times and which
I had intended to have reserved for the packet. It may serve for amusement
Could for Mrs D. and help divert her thoughts from the
sources of disquiet she is surrounded with, and which no thinking
of hers can as I see do any thing towards removing. It is on you the
thinking part must devolve.

Could you not prevail upon Guy to let you take a copy of
Ackworth's Will for me to see that I might judge of the foundation
there may be of the apprehensions he professes to entertain. He
would probably trust you with it for that purpose: and Mrs D. who
has the readiest pen would take the trouble of copying off your hands.
