Pains and Pleasures. The Introduction is gone through and wants
only to be revised. Dennis Barrington the Welch Judge (you have heard
of him) borrow'd my "View" &c of Fear, and returned it him with a
note telling him he had bought it intending to carry it the Circuit
with him, where it would be of great use to him. This
Q.S.P. told me today. Barrington has taken up a custom of giving
to the Grand Juries an account of the Acts that have been
passed or brought in the preceding Session.

What business have you to "refuse invitations to good dinners
with the company of musical-young ladies? What nonsense that
is! I ha won't have any such freaks as that not I — Time is
not so very scarce as that — Your business is to make and to
improve acquaintance - 'Twould have been too much trouble to
you to have mentioned their names.

Take care you don't spend your interest with the Commissioner
about getting by asking him for lists of the Navy — a good hunt although it be Wilson's. If you mention it at all
mention it to him in an indifferent way, rather as a matter
of curiosity - first sounding him by asking him whether there are
such things, and whether they are looked upon as secrets &c &c.

News for you to tell at the Commissioners and such sort of
places. The Russians told me that they had it from some countrymen
of theirs lately come to from Paris that the French had made
peace with for Russia with the Porte, and that in return Russia
was not to send any fleet to our give us any assistance.

I can not find any thing here of Phineas Pitt or
your Air Pump experiments Nairne's printed paper I suppose
you mean. You left nothing behind you but a sealed Paper
which is I believe your Will.

When I write next it shall be upon a
sheet that has Circumstances affecting Sensibility
if I can find it.
