Linc Inn 18 Aug. 1778

I received yours of the 14th yesterday: but not till near
11 at which time I had a letter from to write to Forster which I could
not well put off. The Post came in so late that at 7 o'
clock when I called at chambers there were no letters

You must let me know what Fund it is your
money is in; and then the business shall be dispatched as
soon as Posts and offices will allow

I want to know what letters I have written to
you since July 1st: I have been negligent in setting them
down in my letter book & I want to retrieve the omission
But all letters I suppose are at Portsmouth

Wilson departed on Sunday - Devil take the fellow
he has left me as melancholy as a Church mouse

He observed and I joined in the observation, that
you were a ninny, aye a great ninny to leave your letters
behind you when you landed - things so light & portable!
The hypothesis is that you forgot them — And pray how
did you get from Poole to Plymouth? Tell me, if you
have not already told Q.S.P.

Vouchsafe, good Sir, in your next to write your Landlady's
name intelligibly: whether it be Miderige or Widerige, or Muderige or
Wuderige, or Stideridge or Studerige; is more than for the soul of me
I can make out.

What think you? I have just learnt from Mrs
Green that the Letter Carrier who is such a striking likeness
of Davies is Davies himself — in truth Davies is his name.
