Decr 29th 1778. Linc. Inn.

Mr Far has quitted his chambers and retired to Q.S.P.
there to be nursed &c till mMidsummer when Charles & he go to
their new purchase. He has sent to me a writing table with
a green cloth to it and a dumb waiter to take charge of till
he comes to want them.

I have just been dining at Q.S.P. to meet our dear friends
the Burtons. Burton has asked leave to introduce to me a Dr
Smith who wrote a pamphlet giving an account of the state of
the prisons in London and has spent between 4 & 500 £
in medicines for the prisoners not to mention his own advice
Burton speaks of him as a 2d Howard. He is busy with
Blackstone in framing the Hard Labour Bill. Burton says he
is to have the place of Inspector general of the H. Lab. Houses
which is to be £300 a year & all expences.

I have just received your letter - what you tell me
of the Cot astonishes me — I told you I believe of my Porter's
having assured me that they told him at the Inn it went
on the Thursday after the day it should have gone — I will
see farther about it

The day after I received & answered your letter about
the Cub, I wrote a penny letter which I sent by a Porter
to Sambouski, telling him I understood he had a young Gentleman
under his care &c that if he had not concluded with a
person &c I should be glad to talk with him & should be glad
to know when it would be agreable to him I should wait on
him there or if he came my way I should be equally glad
to see him here. The Porter brought me word that he was
not in town nor was he expected till Saturday (that is last Saturday.
