should come into it, and would invite his Sister to his house for this
purpose, I would go down to meet her. But you must
make sure about the Assets first — see what grounds he
has to grow upon - for Mr D, says he never understood
it to be more than £3,000, and that the Dr knows
nothing of his father's affairs. In the article of person, as far as I can judge by
what I have seen hitherto, I think I give the preference to Miss
Clark: what I prefer pleases me in Miss S. is her little unacquaintance
with London and the fripperies vacuities of the Queen's
-Square — Place-ish world.
I have little hope of decompozing Respirable Air unless
it be by Composed Elective Attraction.
Many thanks to the Dr for the account of his thermostatical
observations - I like it much - It seems very
well drawn up, both as to in point of arrangement and as to of diction.
Mr Nairne and his family I like wonderfully: they were
all exceedingly civil to me - and Mr Nairne gave me
a general Sunday-dinner. You, I find, are quite upon
terms of intimacy there: you she spoke of you by the
name of Sam. I never that I remember felt myself so soon at my ease
in any family as there. One of the girls plays I find
upon the Piano forte: that will be a cementing principle.
Tomorrow I go to Mr Anderson's.
Whether Mr D. is commenced "simple" or no, is more than I can
tell. I have not been to Qu. P. since he was.
