2.J.P. Aug. 2. 1794.
Sir John Sinclair has been with me today, stared, was
awe-struck, but shewed he knew nothing about the matter.
He dines here on Wednesday, and you and I are to be
with him as he that day to see his stuffed sheep,
his models of machines, and whatever else he has to
shew.
Poor dear Mr Rose has met with an accident:
no wonder he has never sent me word, as he was to have
done. He has got a fall from his Horse, hurt his leg
and shoulder, but they say not dangerously. I have just
heard it at the Treasury, and just sent in consequence
to his House to know how he does after his accident which will moreover
serve in a civil way to remind him of my existence. But
you see what a spite all sort of wicked Fairies and
black Inchanters owe us.
Answer come his compliments, and is a good
deal better — blessed be God! As to his compliments, they are
no proof of his having heard of the message.
