years as I was the day I rode about 40 miles with Mr
Lind on out return from Colchester: and for some time after ten of them after
a Postchaise; an indisposition obliging him to quit his
horse: I had not the least sensation of fatigue— I have
engaged the same horse I had then: and that has
carried me to Chatham. The horses, my Uncle is to
send, are, that he rides himself, and one he has borrowed of
Mr Osborn: as I understood him, on my account: tho' he
said somewhat about purchasing of him; whether that was
also on my account, is more than I can tell as yet: be
that as it may, if I like the beast I shall fix a coveting
eye upon him, in spite of the commandment: the most
judicious commentators are agreed that in such a case
as mine, the word "neighbour" does not extend to Uncles.
In the mean time, Sir, I am sensibly touched by your
kindness in authorizing me to equip myself at any rate
you have taken counsel it seems of the proverb, and
satisfied yourself that a living Avocat-sans-cause for a Son,
is better than a dead Attorney-General.
Lord Mansfield's trip to Paris occasions much
speculation among the politicians: I have reason to think it
had nothing to do with politics. He took with him, or
rather he went with, his natural Son, Sr Tho Mills;
Mr Moffat the East India Director, and his daughter: this
daughter with £40,000 to her person is shortly to be
married to Sir Thomas. About 10 months ago Lord Stormont
