Wednesday Aug 5th 1778

I have received two letters from you since we parted.215
Tomorrow I go to Colchester - I shall return this day sennight.
I shall not stay later as Wilson will then be on his return from the Circuit , & will
stay but a day or two before he goes to Scotland.

On my return from Horsham I found on my table a packet
containing a copy of the 2d edition of La Felicite sent by
Chastellux with a note which I transcribe for you on the other leaf.
It is considerably augmented, & somwhat altered.

I congratulate you most heartily on your being so well
stable.

A few days ago came a letter from Mr Wood our friend at
Bath. I transcribe it for you on the other side. I have just
been to the Spar Inn - the spinnet is not come, but is to come
next time.

On Monday I was at Petersham. Q.S.QP suggested an
idea which I think is not amiss. It is that now you are
at the Academy you should make hay while the sun shines,
and apply to Mathematics as soon as possible for the sake of
making Witchell answer.

There were Ald. Clark his wife and his Father and Mother.
His wife (there's for you!) is with child.

I have got a horse that promises to be a good one. Martin
recommended is to me this morning.

The waistcoat I can not possibly let you have till I
come back.
