Mr Hanbury is very much affraid that you should think him wanting in
respect to you on account of his not having answeringd your letter to him, but he thought
there was no occasion to put you to the expence of the postage for saying what I could
say for him. I went on Saturday to dinner at Mr Hanbury's country house
ab about 2 miles out of the City. Chas Hanbury and I walked together. So pressing
were they in their invitations and so friendly in this behaviour that I could not
get away till Yesterday Monday Afternoon; and today I have dined with them
again. Tomorrow I believe I must do the same and in short eat always with them
and Chas Hanbury attend always on me while I stay. I dont know when I have
been so perfectly stupid and absent as I have been since I have been here
till yesterday. Not a sentence could I speak that was scarcely sense
nor had I for above one hour in a four and twenty any idea but such as were
forced into me by the objects that presented themselves. Therefore
