Hond: Sir
I sit down to pay my duty to you in a few lines
on my return from your house where I dined with
Mrs Farr, and took charge of the two letters herewith inclosed
— others you will receive by the care of Mr
Hughes.
I have the satisfaction to inform you of my having
settled my Brother with Mr Cowley — Sam was so kind as
to take a walk up to Town on Sunday morning to tell
me of a Mortar-exercise that was to be performed yesterday,
which he knew I was desirous of seeing and of which he had
no other means of acquainting me. I had already allotted
in my mind that day to go to Woolwich — We set out at
day-break, and after breakfasting at Mr Gray's and
satisfying my curiosity went up to Shooter's-Hill upon
being informed at the Academy that sickness had prevented
Mr Cowley's attendance there that morning. We found
the poor Mathematician in the agonies of a fit of the
Gout, which had seized him in the stomach with such violence, as to have
racked him through a series of the most excruciating pains
into a state of insensibility, succeeded by a short sleep, the
departure of which had just plunged him into fresh Torments.
Mrs Cowley took us up into the Chamber where he lay, and
whether it was owing to Company, or the course of the disease
