Linc. Inn. Thursday 23d May 1776.
Hon.d Sir
I am sorry the not seeing me yesterday
was a disappointment to you — had I understood that
you made a point of it I would certainly have waited
on you. Whether it was that I mistook you when I was with you or that
you have since alter'd your intentions, I laid my account
on finding you at Q.S.P. to day; where it
was my intention to have waited on you, had not your
letter informed me of your having left it. I will wait on
you there without fail on Saturday; and probably go down
with you to Kingston.
Russel does not intend parting with his Horse. I have
looked with Mr Lind at the Horse which Burton the
Stable-keeper near Lincoln's Inn has to sell at 25 Guineas
The Horse seemed by no means a bad one, but Mr Lind
thought not so good an one as might probably be had
elsewhere for the money, and Burton did not seem disposed
to take a farthing less.
Another string which I thought I had to my Bow has also
failed me. I learnt heard from Sam of a very pretty mare Mr
Wise had, which there was reason to think he would be
inclined to sell. Sam and I accordingly concerted a
scheme on the sudden for him to go to Battle, and fetch
the mMare upon trial - to which there was no doubt of
Mr Wise's consenting: but before he left London, he heard by
accident that the Mare had has but very lately had a Foal
