Tell him there does not seem now to be any ground to apprehend
any disturbances in the E. Indies, as there seemed to
be when I wrote last to him.
I commission you to whip Mrs D. or Mrs Knight
or Mrs any-body whomsoever it may concern. Of three
which I have tried out of the 4 shirts sent back to me
only one is wearable: the two others might as well be worn
by a Rhinoceros as me. The collars will not button round
my neck by ½ an Inch.
At odd hours I have been reading a good deal about
E. India matters. I conclude with the Eastern conclusion,
(a much better one than our's)
"What can I say more?"
Linc. Inn Monday May. 12. 1777.
Wilson begins to long for Battle. He vows he will go if
I will, the very next day after term is over: viz: the 19th
of next month.
I have opin'd the matter to Q.S.P. yesterday when
he called here. The communication came at rather an
unlucky season, just after he had been telling me of (upon
my interrogating him) of the ill success of the scheme he had
been planning of going to board with Parson Darling at
Wargrave near Henley upon Thames where Mr Mulford
lived once. I believe I told you of it when you
were in town. The Parson would not so much as accept
his invitation to come up to town: so that put an
end to it at once. The said Parson knows his character
I imagine, pretty well from Mr Mulford & from other
quarters.
