Pish — Troughs — What signify the Troughs ? The Joiners
are not to cut the corks to the Phials — are they? are they
to fit it on the Athanors? Paltry excuses — any thing may
do for a trough for an experiment or two to try how things
— take your Hat — or what should hinder your borrowing
a wash tub?
Pray Mr Boat-builder how goes on Euclid? Is it the
Joiners who are to translate Euclid for you, or do you leave
him to translate himself?
Thus far I had written a day or two ago — and left off — Tuesday Evening
Your second letter is come to hand — My dear Sam,
it is impossible for me to satisfy your impatience
especially when you assign no other reason for it than
itself — I am now in the , I can not answer
for getting out of them tomorrow — besides if I can, I
have an engagement — In the you will say —
What's that? Not the properest of all expressions, but
the 1st that came uppermost. It's well you got the
Tin as you did (though indeed I don't find you intend
making any use of it) for I have eat up all
you left me, & shall devour the Lord knows how
much more before I have done. It is for the entertainment
