are Tuesdays and Fridays: because then what is in them goes passing

should happen, don't make that a reason for delay.
Wilson keeps making great preachments to me about the necessity of your having
another coat and Waistcoat. I should think you might as
well have it there as here.
Mrs D. observes that her neigbour Mr Prue is now at
Portsmouth and is very intimate with Sr Charles Douglas.
Nairne told her of a Parson Swan Swan who is there as being
a person you would like to be acquainted with. I believe
he has mentioned you to him. Amongst other things he is
musical.
La Jolle of late has behaved very well - She talks of departing
on Thursday. Very likely I may pay her the compliment
of proposing her to stay another day or two.
You may imagine us all very well pleased with
your account of your proceedings, which is all I need say
about the matter.
Q.S.P has told you I suppose of Charles's Geneva
expedition. It was made a pompous affair of in Q.S.P.'s
account of it to me. But the truth of the matter, as I got
it from Charles is that he goes by a Carrier, who makes
it his business to make up parties as many times in a
year as he can. The scheme for eating Ld Trentham's lands
has not taken - He is gone off by himself for Holland. I concluded
at first that it had, from the chuckling and exultation.
My eyes (God blast them) have been almost in the same
way as Wilson's. He says you are a good boy, that he is very
well pleased with you, and gives you his blessing.
We take it for granted that you spare neither time
nor trouble nor sollicitation not craving nor bullying to get
your project put in execution before the fleet.
Your letter to Q.S.P. was read by him after dinner in a sort of triumph.
I believe it had a good effect. He sat down forthwith to answer it: but his answer I did not see.
