the bookseller, who waited on me himself with it, and told
me that it came in a parcel to him. what you tell me

that my Grandmama and brother were both got so well; I am
glad you intend to send him to School, as he must necessarily
make a greater Progress there than at home; only I am

of it: I should be very sorry if you should be forced to
have chambers at one of the Inns of Court, than which I
think, nothing could be duller.

he and I are pretty much acquainted; I have discontinued
