The Waggons went from the White Hart in the Borough
Holden the Porter saw them booked. They wentre of to go off on Saturday about
10 in the morning - They were sent about 10 at night to the
Inn
Sunday morning
I have just seen the Porter who has been to make enquiry. The
Cot it seems could not be sent on the Saturday, though they
promised he says that it should. It went [they told him]
on Thursday last, by the Portsmouth Waggon, not the Gosport
which sets out from the same place But if it should not
be arrived it were well to enquire about the Gosport for greater
certainty.
Along with the Cot I have sent the only pair of Sheets
I have clean - I should have them back again. They
are for the large bed — much smaller will do for the
Cot.
Do you know of any lady who wants a person to
write under a Captain's Clerk There is one Shillito
son of a man reputable manufacturer at Colchester, for whom
his father wants such a place. Forster desired me to speak
in his behalf. Davies will take him if he goes out. Forster
says he writes a very good hand, better than one he shew'd
me which was a good one — He understands common Arithmetic
I take it for granted — I believe he is 22 or 23.
Macaulay has promised me (of his own accord you may
imagine) a copy of his Father's short hand. His last-invented
short-hand: for it seems he has invented two. This will be of use for
James — You spoke to me I think for such a thing. Macaulay is gone
