as to the Philanthropic Society, altho' I was a member
of it, & of the Committee for Carrying on the purpose of it,
and am still a well wisher to its success from the opinion
I have of the good hands it has at last got into; I have
not been able to attend it, or at any of the meetings now
above this twelvemonth, & am sorry to find that Mr
Pritchard the Secretary, sh'd continue to send rea me
Letters as he dos, if their meetings several of which have been
forwarded to me since I have been here, & have been
unable & still am to Stir out of my Room; I have
therefore directed Mr Pease, whom I make use of as an
Agent to do several things for me in Town to call
on Mr Pritchard & desire him to write to me no
more upon the Subject as my Illness has & will
prevent me from concerning myself any longer
in any affair of a Public nature.
Pray was you at Court, on the Queen's Birth Day, or
when your friend Newton was presented? I suppose
he may be gone, by this time, to see his Father? who
no doubt will be rejoyced to see him in the
Rank & Situation he is arrived at. Shod he
take Bath in his way to Newcastle, or in
returning from it, let him know I should be
very glad to see him here.
Bath is become a deserted Village, the Par team
have carried off and to Town, every soul that has
any relation to it; however Lord & Lady Sokeby
are expected in this House on Wednesday in the
appartment immediately over ours, wch they have been
in the habit of coming to, for several years past.
I am glad to find your Brother's cold has left him
altho my disorder continues upon me & am scarce
ever without some degree of Pain more or less: I have
not had so sever a Fit of the Spasm, as that I had
last Sunday the 22d inst, when I sealed up my last Letter.
I imagine Kit Metcalfe came to Town in favour of Mr Livet
I well remember the Livet family, one or two of whom
were my School fellows, at my Uncle Rays at Monkerham
if I mistake not the head of that family was at that
time remarkable for being a great Sentigenarian, a Man
of Fortune & much respected. I had so few Gouty Pains
these last 3 or 4 Days that I began to flatter myself of my
