—tess : I was a little vexed at first, but now I don't care: the Writer will make
me amends by giving me so many copies of it in the improved state
in which it will appear if ever it does appear in a second edition. Horn
soon but 128 for sale: and even with regard to part of that members, there
may be a doubt. Of these 25 are bespoke by an Irish Bookseller, a
man of great immure in his line, whose letter I enclose for your e-
dification: and a few I would wish to resume for Graner I shall give
none but what I am obliged to give by promises made before the catastrophe
I shall give none for instance to Fran and Charles of this idilica : but if
they are good boys, they may have some perhaps of a better. And pray
big thing would not buy any: some it would be depriving the book of so
many chances of being read. If they want to look into it which is cut very
likely, you can lend them yours'. The probability is that the copies will
be all gone long before I am at leisure to republish : White's letter
you will probably like to take extracts from to send to Sam by way of
continuation of the history of his Nistiner the Defense of Usnay, which was
born in her house and under her eye. Pray send it me back immediately,
as I have occasion to write in answer. Send me back if you
please the 1/2 number I sent you some time ago of the London Gazette.
I send you back the fons I borrowd': It would be great
charity and a fatherly act, If you would send them me regularly as
you have done with them: for some time at least, till I am come to
some other arrangement. I am disappointed in this S'James Chronicle
that I have ordered: the Postman here now tells me he can not under
take to supply me: so that, having countermanded this Times, I am
such owner-less and forlorn. I have seen nothing of later take them
Saturday. If you know of any-body, (Farr, for example) who does or
would take in the Morng Chron: for the sake of the Debates, I should be glad
to go halves with them in the nuisance they sending it me 3 times a week
and I keeping the tie simple allowing them the 3d a week they would have to
ring for postage. N.B. This packet which I have weighed comes just with in 1. ounces
the weight allowed in the homes first
