I believe I can help you to besiege Solander. Swede knows
him pretty well. Ingenhaus still better. I will try to get them
to mention you separately to Solander.
I will tell you how you might get acquainted with
Ingenhaus — It would do you no harm. He is on good terms with
Banks, Priestly, Ld Shelburne, &c in short all the literate
& amateurs. When Swede and I go to Pimlico (not Pimblico)
Ingenhaus is to be of the party. You may come to town & be of the
party too, either with me, or au pis aller instead of me.
(Swede goes sometimes to Banks's). The day is not fixed yet. I imagine
it may be about a week hence — so there will be time enough
for you to come
Could not you come, & return time enough for to go on
in Algebra with Lohmen?
As to Mears and Wachurn, they will keep.
Shall I talk with Fordyce about Dry-rot? Tell me by
return of Post.
I see no reason why you should not keep Mrs L.
to her promise. I don't imagine she would have any real objection to
perform it. She might not choose perhaps to appear to have
seriously made such a kind of offer before the people she was with: as
it includes the necessity of her receiving you and being on a footing of some sort
of intimacy in town.
4 o clock - The above I had written before I had received your
letter. Don't have money of them. Ill tell you reasons when we
meet.
