Thursday Jan. 7th. 1779.

I have received your letter - I am busy in correcting - I shall despatch
it to night that it may be returned in form forthwith — There
is not time to lose. What apology can you make to me for delaying
writing so long? Indisposition will not do for that Witchell can
witness against. Particular points in your algebraical studies that
you did not care to leave? opportunities of being with Dr Lind or
other people that you did not care to miss? I can not prescribe.
I must leave it to yourself.

If you can contrive to bring in Sr C. Douglas do: you may
tell me over again what you told me about your being to go to him on board the Duke
with the Linds.
Also Jarvis. Samb. seemed to catch at Jarvis upon my mentioning
him.

Mind your stops you noodle: and don't begin a sentence with a small
letter.

1 A Portfolio I will send thee tomorrow together with
12. Windgage
23. The remainder of Now what d'ye call em's of which one or
two I may perhaps pack up in this
34. Perhaps Priestly's charts.

The mistake about the Breeches was your numbscullity.
You wrote to me of a Monday or Tuesday & mentioned "next
Thursday instead of saying Thursday sennight — I sent you
the Waistcoat time enough for the next Thursday.

I should be afraid to propose to Sambouski to shew Pouskin
your letter, for fear of it's appearing to be a contrivance.

I will send you back both your letters leaving every thing
that I think you might insert untouched, & cancelling what
should not with a red line.

I think it not safe to trust the name of Poushkin
without a C. before it at least for Count which is his Title. Neither he
nor even Samb. would endure plain Poushkin.
