his letter she said from the Blossoms Inn. She wished me
therefore to find him out and tell him how necessary it was for
him to be back at the above Inn, and if not in town to write
after him to Chatham. I went immediately to the Inn, and there
I found my Gentleman. The seemed to affect to wondered at her anxiety, as he
said he intended originally to stay till this Monday sennight
that is tomorrow. He did not say much about his not
calling upon me; but in all that time he had done it once, or he intended it
before he went out of town, or something. He talked in a
shuffling manner as I thought about his wife. First he had
written to her by that post— then it came out he had only but
he intended it. What I told him had not the effect as I
expected of his expressing any resolution of goin hastening his
departure: till at last upon my having guilted him some time
and coming back to tell him of the circumstances of my being
to write to Chatham after him (for I had not Mrs W. letter
about me) he seemed to say he would. From what you had
told me of his conduct in some occasions, I could not help
suspecting he might be come to town to for the purpose of avoiding some engagement
and that it might be the very engagement Mrs W. was
so anxious to have him keep.

Friday he came and breakfasted with me, and told me he
was going to meet Nairne, and should then set off immediately
for Battle. He said that his Brother was to advance him the
£250 to get the writings with, upon another person's being
security with him, (whom he did not name) but he said,
at least so I understand him, that it was about that business
he was to meet Nairne.

I find since upon turning again to Mrs W's letter that he
was in town by the Thursday at 10 o'clockas he wrote her word in the morning; tho'
he told me not till the Friday. This I find by a second letter
