Dear Papa
I am afraid you begin to it long since you
heard from me last; and indeed I am angry with myself that I
did not write to you sooner; but will make amends by beginning
the second book and sending you part of it next Sunday. What
you mentioned in your last concerning Mr Mayo's Nephew,
I find to be but too true; for his behaviour is so impertinent
and childish, that I have tried to drop off his acquaintance
entirely, but can hardly get rid of him, whether I will or no, he
forces himself so upon me. he is known all over Oxford for Impertinence
and Impudence; for if he happend to meet with any
body at any of his Acquaintance's Rooms, he will go and see
them next day, or invite them to come and see him. sometime
ago he was at Billiard-table, (where by the by he games very
high) where was also a Gentleman of our house, who labours
French, that Gentleman said that he understood a little of it, or
had a good mind to learn it, or some such thing: You, says, Pritchard
understand French; You can't speak your own Mother
Tongue yet. I leave You to make reflections upon this behaviour
of Mr Pritchard, which, I fancy you will, not very favourable
