Queens Coll. Nov 6 1760.
Dear Papa
I wrote on Monday a short to you, only to acquaint
you that I thought it needful to have mourning, since every
body else are equipping themselves as fast as they can, and a
good part are in mourning allready. but Oh my Stupidity, I put it
into my pocket with a design to send it, but as it was not then
time I went about something else and forgot to send it, 'till
this morning when putting my hand in my pocket for something
else, I pulled out the letter designed for you: I believe
I was never much more vexed than I was then: just now I should
say: for immediately as soon as I saw it, I sat down to write
to you. Mr Jefferson read some part of you letter to me, wherein
you mentioned the mourning: and as I intended to write
to you, he thought he himself needed not. I have not seen anything
of Dr so as to speak to him: and I do not know whether
it would be proper for me to go and see him without a more
particular invitation: I shall not therefore 'till I hear from
you. I remember you often seemed uneasy at the apprehension
that I should never know what to do with myself: but I can
assure you, it is so far the contrary, that I can hardly find time
for any thing: but what I can not possibly do without. I have not
been to see Mrs Lee or Mr Lee yet: but intend to go to see
them to day. on Friday the King was proclaimed here by the
Mayor, attended by the chief people of the several Occupations
