him of it. He said he was sorry for it (thinking I meant by
that to have nothing to do with it) and really looked chagrined.
The only difficulty seems to be about the time. The price was in
a manner complied with at first word. This will be some
gratification to my vanity, whether we agree or not. And
it will be some comfort to me besides to think that upon
a pinch I have such a resource. Half as much again
as the highest price that is commonly given - this is certainly
a good omen.

Lind dined with Jenkinson the day before yesterday. There
is a report which comes by way of France that Philadelphia
is in our hands. It is credited at Jenkinson's -
I heard of it likewise from another quarters. That d—d dc

Lind's Translation is to be finished tomorrow. I dined
there yesterday. The company consisted of a man who is just going to lay claim to
the title of Earl of Banbury, and in the mean time calls himself
so as his Ancestors have done for many generations - Lady
Wallingford a relation of his. The Sollicitor Gen:l (Wedderburn)
Baron Maseres (who he is what they call Cursitor Baron of the Exchequer)
one Croft who is a young Barrister of Linc. Inn. and his Sister
They are opposite neighbours of Lind's, who takes Croft under
his protection. Lastly a Mons:r Linguet a French Avocat
who has made more noise in his country than perhaps any man of his profession
ever did in any country. It was for the sake of seeing

several curious anecdotes of one kind or other. Lind's acquaintance
with him is through Wedderburn. Linguet means to take up
his abode in this country: etant being obliged to s'expatrier
