"What are the blank looks for"? you monkey you
they are the Charta Chymica. You wanted it in some
such form, did not you, for day-books? I would have
sent you some, not done up in books, besides: but there
was none at the place I went to, and I had no possible time
to go after it to the original warehouse in Lombard Street.
As to the Seal, I beg your pardon, but I could not prevail
upon myself to part with it for two reasons: 1st because I
want it to shew as a pattern, or rather the contrary to
a pattern, that he may cut my lion deeper: 2dly I want
it to cut a figure with on Monday at Browne's, where
there is to be the Lord knows who. Last year about this
time Browne was civil enough you may remember, to
two 12000 pounders for me to look at; but I had
no mind for either of them. They were the quintessence of
insipidity — I hope I shan't have them to meet again.
Buckmaster as I have said many's the good time & oft, I
now say again, is the stupidest of all two legged creatures
without feathers. Upon his objecting to outside pockets
I acquiesced - visibly & manifestly acquiesced; and I my expectedation
was that he would have made the cloaths accordingly.
However it is of no consequence. I see cloaths daily with
outside pockets: & it is ten to one but what in a little time
they come again in fashion besides the people you are likely
to be most among will probably be better judges of what is becoming
than what is the fashion. As to the not wearing of silk
breeches it is more a whim of Wilson's than any thing else.
His Taylor whom he magnifies so much made no objection
at all to mine, and he himself I mean Wilson has two or three times confessed
voluntarily or rather exclaimed with an Oath into
