My dear Sam

is not much, I know not. I saw my Father c this morning
he was coming down Southn. Buildings from Staples Inn.
As I wanted you knew to have a few words with him
alone, I thought that would be as good and opportunity
as any, and I sh might take the occasion to make
him the compliment of inviting him up. So I open'd
the window, bow'd and beckoned to him.
When I mentioned to him the state of mind into which
your his letter had thrown you, he said what might be expected
and what was proper on the occasion, that he
could not be happy, if he knew of your being otherwise,

took amiss, he said he did not remember any such words
and seemed inclined if it had been possible to deny them
I said, he could not suppose it could answer any purpose
to invent any such words to impute to him if
they were not really in the letter. I 'added that he
neither surely could be surprized, nor might he to be displeased
that you what he said to you in the way of
disapprobation should make a deep impression: on the contrary
it would be a much more reasonable ground of
