"Weep not for me, my Brother dear:
"I am not dead but sleepeth here".
True it is that Mrs D. sent me a parcel on Thursday
last with a letter: equally true it is that I put the
said letter into the Post as desired.
And so I talked to thee about coming down and
said nothing of the day? Well but I have fixed on it in
my own mind for some time, and trusted to your ingenuity
to divine it. On Wednesday, if God permitt, I shall
find myself at your house: where you may find
you look out sharp, I shall be with you to dinner.
On Friday I dine at Battle. Sic stat sententia: and
so I have written word.
If the concert should be on the Wednesday and
I should be in a humour for it, possibly I may go.
The shoes you sent me fit me as well as if
they had been for John an Okes or Tom a Styles.
I will put them up and direct them so that
they may be ready for you to take back with you
if you come to town with a parcel soon, or otherwise to
be sent by themselves.
Love to Mrs D. What can I say more?
Given at Cook's Court June 16th 1777.
