not, I shall endeavour to make myself so while Sir
James is yet here, and for that purpose I will begin
to go to School to him tomorrow.

Friends at home, It cannot but assist my views here
of which I shall give you some account in a Packet
I send by sea.

Your poor brother is become very bare in several
necessary articles, but in none so intollerably so as
in linnen . A reinforcement of a dozen shirts is absolutely
unavoidable. They would be much cheaper & better
if you could contrive to send them from England washed
and marked.

With respect to my Love Affair, from the first to the last
approve of my conduct. Whatever blame there is falls only
