evening, when we were all together after he had read my letter
to Fitzh. what I had said of you was certainly not too much:
& thereupon talking of the effect it might produce, when Mrs D.
said she should be vext if you got any thing from such a quarter
as this rather than Ld Howe, Mr D. joined with her I but
instead of holding up the uncertainty of Ld H's having it in his
power to serve you, said at any rate it wou'd do no harm, your
having already taken got one step, for that it would make it so
much the easier for you to get higher. Toutes fois it is a very
faint ground to go upon - therefore don't you set yourself to work
to build castles on it, to the neglect of Algebra.
On Saturday or Sunday Mrs D. told me they were to back
to Brompton, & then return to Town for a considerable time.
From a passage in one of your letters I see she had given
you to understand that my angry letter to her was written
principally on the occasion of his not having made any
money offers to you to save the selling out: the truth of
it is that circumstance was only glanced at in the most oblique
manner in a parenthesis by way of argument to prove
that I could not do every thing for S. W. & that they
share the burthen. The real purport of my letter was to answer
a canting, unfeeling letter to me in which upon s reasons she
had refused supplying S. W. with money to enable her to go into
the country.
