Queen's Coll. Nov 21st1760.
Dear Papa,
I have been so busy for this last week about my
Verses, that I have hardly stirred out in that time; which
business was the reason of my delaying my letter. I think it was
last thursday senight I was at Baliol, to see Mrs Lee: at first I
was shewn into a good pretty genteel dressingroom, where a Lady waited
to receive me, whom I had not seen before. we talked together upon
various subjects, such as Westminster, the University, the Kings death,
and the like. after a while, we went into that large Parlour, that
they sat in, when you went there (I forgot to tell you that Miss
Hodgekin a young lady, who you know was there then, was ill, up-
on which I offer'd to go away, but they desired me to stay, telling
me, that there would be company; for which reason I should stay, as
they were to receive them) in a little time Dr Lee came in, and as-
-ked Mrs Lee who I was; so she told him, and in the mean time a Gen-
-tleman came in whom they call'd Mr or Dr (I do not know which) Ken-
-nedy: I believe he is head of some College or other. I am now in Mr
Chambers's room (only upon a visit, for I am now got into my own Room)
