To R. Adam
I am sorry to to have been the means
of your spending so many hours at no
purpose: had I known been apprised of your wishes,
I would with pleasure have saved you the
trouble: but I burrow live in a hole in the
ground in which I hide my bind on unknown to every body but the Postman
purpose that nobody may see me in which I put myself in order
to be out of the way of every sort of interruption.
But I come every time When
I can find him to be visible I come to
town. and Let me know your hours
and when I hear of your being in London
and I will call upon you without
ceremony.
But this need not hinder me from
having in the benefit meantime the benefit of any hints with which
you may be disposed find time to favour me either with
the pen or the pencil. The roughest
scratch without the smallest regard to appearance
so as the idea be but expressed will be
sufficient
