I hope Mrs D. will not fail to send me the next letter she receives.
The dog-skin I send cost 7s. 6d It was the largest they
had — They said 4 pair of upper-leathers might be cut out
of it. I will have no more Seal Skin shoes — they crack & don't
wear well. The pairs I bespoke I suppose are done — otherwise countermand them
That indolent beast Elmsly has not got the sheets for me to
see yet.

Lind's Chairman Scheme
Money accounted

I have told Mrs W. in the letter I am just going to dispatch
to her along with the Book, case, Shoes &c that from her not writing I had begun
to fear she might have been tired of her correspondent &c.
by way of my not writing: that I had communicated my suspicions
to Mrs D. who told me she could assure me from
the best authority it was no such thing, but that Mrs W.
expected me to write — This Mrs D. must be aware of, that
we may be all in a story. The packet I shall send by
the Battle Diligence that goes from the Bolt & Tun tomorrow at
6.

Sunday eveng. 19 — Jan. 1777.

I send you the Seal last made as a novelty. It was sent hence
in a hurry, & is not cleaned yet from the dirt, graving-wax
or whatever it may be — Sope & water or at worst Vitriolic
Acid will do the business. When we meet we will toss up
which shall have which.

I have had so much plague with writing to the Ws
and about the W's Mrs I must beg Mrs D. to excuse me
for the present. You will shew her all that is shewable — Every-
thing if you will about myself. Not that about Lind's embryo project
for himself. He will propose it as soon as he has got the Translation
of his "Answer" &c printed which he expects in a few days.
