Queen's April 7th 1762.
Dear Papa
I received your packet on Friday with a great
deal of pleasure; tho' not from Mr Mayo but from Mr Prince
the bookseller, who waited on me himself with it, and told
me that it came in a parcel to him. what you tell me
is indeed great news; altogether I should think you and my
Grandmama must have a very troublesome time of it
for a great while. it gave me a great deal of pleasure to hear
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
afraid my Grandmama will not know what to do without
him. when I come home again I shall find a very great
alteration, I may almost say, revolution, in the family,
such an one as has not happened since I have made a part
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.
Mr Skeet is so good as to trouble himself with this;
he and I are pretty much acquainted; I have discontinued
