Since the writing of this I have received your
Letter to Mr Lind.
Thursday May 23d 1775
Oh! my dear Sam, how shall I set down to write to thee? or
now I have set down, how shall I know when to leave off? Yes — had
success — that is the reason of my long silence. Tis
impossible for me to think of giving this by letter
This however thou canst not know too soon — that my Mother
has been my zealous and (for any just ground that
I can possibly form to myself of suspiscion to the embassy)
my sincere advocate. I believe, if I had gone all
lengths, I might have extorted big my Father's consent; but it would have
made him supremably wretched, and would have put an end
to your expedition. I could not bear that my Mother
should be so early and severe a sufferer for her generosity
to me. She has given me such proofs under her own hand of her encouraging
me to , as would ruin any scheme, if she had found
one, of recommending herself by means of it, to my prejudice.
My present plan is in few words this. I believe I shall
spend the next half year at Mr Lind's. My Father,
(when will cease?) knows it and tolerates it.
Mr Lind will me and over the .
that is all my dear Sam, I can give you at present.
