The Davies's are gone this morning.
Before they went I got a piece of Sattinel to make a
pair of Breeches for you, and gave it to Mrs D. to to send
to Byers. (& at the same time got sent a piece for myself). It took
2¼ Yds at 12s a Yd. & was what I believe I had mentioned to
you before - The man had a pr of it on himself - He said it wore
for everlasting — as well as leather was his expression. Wilson said
it should be somthing of silk or sattin, not velvet. This I hope
will come within the Law. (I mean the Wilsonian Code.)
Desire you send us a minute account of what passes on these
y subsequent day at the C.M. — not what you see ac
What you hear & conjecture & what other people conjecture —
½ after 7.
The Postman is but this instant come in with your le
which I see that you had not received mine of Saturday. It was
well enough timed to answer your wish about having the Russian

rather rea learn it by reading Euler?
Q.S.P's coming prevented my getting the things this forenoon.
I wonder when I am to have my waistcoat? I desired you to send it
back immediately: do not however if you have any particular occasion
for keeping it.
Elmsly has none of the Spanish Shipbuilding book — he expects some next
month. As to Ld Mulgrave's have a little patience.
