Shelburne, at present to my Lord, besides poor plebeian cats
who are taken no notice of, horses &c and a wild boar who
is sent off on a matrimonial expedition to the farm. The four
first I have commenced a friendship with; especially the first
of all, to whom I am body coachman extraordinary en libre
d'office. Henry (for that is his name) for such an animal
has the most thinking countenance I ever saw: being very
clean I can kiss him without disgust, & even with pleasure,
especially after having been rewarded as I have just
