This post brought me a letter from W. wherein he tells me
he and M<hi rend="superscript">r</hi> W. will be with me on Monday night; and
that he will bring the conveyances.
As to this packet my dear Sam I do believe I shall
pack it off at once for Q.S.P. in status quo. I wrote a Billet doux
designed for that quarter upon the receipt of your letter
by the Post. If I dine there tomorrow I will have the
packet jus when I go away: otherwise I will send it on
Monday by the Penny Post.
Let not thy nole courage be cast down.
Wilson told me something last night that pleased me much.
The Empress of Russia reads English — she reads the
English News Papers. Wilson was told is by Baron
Dimsdale the Physician who inoculated her. I make no
doubt of being able to make the Punishments find their way
to her: and for that purpose you see there is no immediate nor absolute
necessity of a translation.
Yesterday I shew'd Wilson a Chapter or two: he bobbed
his head de tems en tems, and the "just-so" came very
thick one after another. Speaking of a part he happen'd
to have in his hand I expressed my doubts whether it
would not be thought heavy and abstruse— By no means, he
said: he did not see how it was possible any thing should
be clearer: he did not see how it was possible any body
could help understanding me. Every now and then he would
be saying it was a mighty odd sort of a book indeed
was I and "Will I wish to God it were out". Coming
to a note. By now I like that note - It's a damned good
note that
