La folle arrived here to day to take advice <for poor Joey — She
wonders at not having heard from you since the letter you wrote
from Spitheads S.W. is alive.
How came you to think it gave me any concern the not having
heard from Q.S.P.? He shew'd me your letter to him of
the 17. Your plea for not having written to him sooner, viz.
the not having heard from him was well accepted — and in
order to exculpate him to you I was desired to tell you of
the letter he put into the blue great pocket for you; which
you will see I open'd. My Uncle walked here today at the
time that Q.S.P. was here, and was shewn your aforesaid
letter.
The power of Attorney I will consider about and send you directions.
But you must first let me know what Stock Fund
the money is in.
As to the Battle House all I can find room to tell you is that
there does not seem to be any chance to signify of getting a farthing from
it, nor from the Land neither — It does not signify plaguing you
nor myself with the particulars.
Peake's pen is taken out of the parcel from Nairne's, and
shall go back by la folle unless you order me to send it sooner.
It surely can not be worth giving 1½ Ga or 2 Gas to go to
the concert — If your white wastecoat is not good enough you had
better stay away - I'll tell you what I'll do — I will send
you I a waistcoat I have just made up. and You shall have the maidenhead
of it. Make haste and make one or two capital visits
in it, and then send it me back again. I will send it you tomorrow
or Saturday - so you may figure away with it on Sunday.
I have sent you the Sea man's vade mecum 1776. The
man assured me there was no later edition.
The things in the Shagreen case (proportional compasses don't you
call them?) I found upon my the Mantlepiece of the little room.
