On Monday sennight we got to this place - we made
a day of it for the sake of shewing Sam what was
to be seen at Winchester. The Dr received us very
cordially notwithstanding he had been to London for some days without calling on me not
long before we quitted it: a behaviour which I should
have construed as a repeal of the invitation, in any
body but him. He is grown very religious, very recluse
very slovenly & very oeconomical. He has however made
a present (or rather indeed a loan) to Sam of some a variety
of curious tools, to some value; and to me a sort of general
offer (which probably will not amount to much except as
a testimony of his disposition) of any that I will select out
of about half of his books that stand apart from the rest,
as he shall have less and less occasion as he intimates for
any prophane books except medical &c.

the state of my health which for some time past has not been
altogether what I could wish it. I find it thus far of service that
it reestablishes my stomach for the day after it has suffer'd as it will
do by my continuing in bed a few minutes after six: but I do not perceive
