Lind is in the country & will not be in town
this week — If he has any acquaintance at all
with Sr J. Lindsay it must be a very faint
one: nor has he any way of coming at him but
through Lord Mansfield, which is none at all
Therefore think no more of that project, which on
other accounts is a chimerical one — Why won't the
Formidable do? what should make you in a hurry?
I shall endeavour to get your letter away from Lind.
before he sees it — Your things are sent to night.

As you are not going to leave Chatham in a hurry,
You there is no need of my being in any violent hurry
to go there. I shall certainly not be with you before
Saturday: probably not till Monday. By staying till
that time I shall be able to dispatch all my letters;
and have my business done & my mind at ease Wilson
is looking over me and saying "poor mind" — which has
determined me to scratch out the last part of the last
sentence — there — there's enough of it

I shall bring the first draught of my letter to Foster
for your worship to see — I shall get a speedy
conveyance for my packet without difficulty —
I — that is Wilson will for me — This Wilson is
an useful kind of an animal upon occasion — he
is looking over as grave as a goose —

Dr Mulford called on me yesterday; but
was driven away by Q. S. P. who kept the field.
