Q.S.P. 1 Aug 1794

Sir John Sinclair sent me yesterday a note on the cover
whereof was written Board of Agriculture desiring to see me
today or tomorrow between 10 & 12. I went about 12 today: it was
(as it turned out upon his cross examination) at the instigation of
Lowndes from whose account of things he supposed that our establishment
might be made useful to the public in the way of making
agricultural machines. The post does not leave me time for details;
the conclusion is, that he comes tomorrow at 11 to see the glories,
and as he proposes to go to Scotland Wednesday or Thursday I told
him if he would get fed on Tuesday I would hawl you
back to town on that day to get help feed him. We were both of us
a little in a hurry, and we agreed that he should tell me about
that tomorrow. He seems really a pleasant man: infinitely more
so than I expected, and infinitely more so than his picture speaks
of him.

When I reached Rose's door yesterday, I found it open with
a man standing at it to make me an excuse saying that he
had a sudden call in the country, but would let me know
in the course of the day when he should be able to se me.
On returning home I found he had sent a verbal Message
(as I was told at his House) to Q.S.P. to the same effect: that
day is over, this day almost over, but nothing from Mr Rose.

Chrissant left a card for you.

A letter from Strut about price of Glass. The essential part illegible.
I shall write for explanation.
