times as much water — my life for it you'll have no piles

Your dear Papa for one: which brings to my mind a story
I heard but yesterday. A certain man (his name was
Sr John Stonehouse - but that's no matter) was going to be

I have written to Mr Davies.

The old Lady shall have the parchments in a few

in length.

1777.

I would not have you depend at all upon the scheme about
Dr Leith — It was a random thought — If an opportunity
offers I will do what I can.
