thinking the point of delicacy provided for by transmitting it through
your hands. Even had I paid it with my own — your Sisters
surely were not above taking boarders Your concerns and theirs were at that time separate. You I did not consider on
it, as I told you. I consider'd only myself the expence incurred in
my account and Miss Dunkly's. I considered only strict justice:
my means gave me no pretentions to be generous. I went there you may
remember uninvited
. I invited myself: and I did not mean to obtrude myself as a burthen. Nor ought
I to have been suffer'd thus long taken together to appear in their eyes as if I had meant so.
All these matters I should conceive might have been better settled
viva voce: if the thoughts of meeting had not been full as irksome to
me as they can be to you.
What I have to answer to the remainder of your letter I will
defer to another time. I could not trust myself to write upon some
of the topics contained in it in the frame of mind I am now in.
I know not what extravagances I might run into — nor what imprudence
I might be guilty of — nor what weaknesses I might
betray — Nor what injustice I might do to the memory of my
departed Friend.
Monday even.g Sept; 11d 1775.
Lincoln's Inn.
My wish is not to hear from you untill you have heard from
me again: unless it be simply to tell me that this letter has
come safe.
