not yet heard from that Rogue Wilson —
I have been working at Evidence, & I have
got deep in all the Nonsense of Metaphysics
— I find that ocean must be
passed —pray with me a safe & speedy arrival
on the land of common sense &

days & did not return till about 1/2 hour
ago — & a half an hour hence I shall
set out for the Qr. Sessions at Abingdon

all to be Tully's & Hydes at past — But
it is hard that we must begin by being
Mountbanks & Merry Andrews —
Thursday I shall return to London &
again return to a Friend's in the country
that evening, where I have got all my
books — But I shall be in town every two
