Hon Sir
Yesterday evening I arrived here from Steventon, & not
being willing to interrupt the general joy for the happy event, of which
I was soon informed, I sat out immediately for the S: S: House,
but finding Mr Clark was gone to Twickenham to spend some time,
I went to Mr Broane's, where by a happy temerity I possessed myself
of that letter which I shall preserve with reverence as long as I
live, as the most important testimony of the affection of the
kindest of Parents. The surprize however with which I was struck,
& the agitations I underwent, before they were so agreeably suppress'd
may be better imagined upon a recollection of the various circumstances, than express'd: my apprehensions suggested to me the
having heavily offended by my stay in the Country which was longer
than by what I mention'd to Mr Clark I had given reason to expect,
longer indeed than it would have been by a fortnight, had it not
been for the kind violence put upon me by Mr Mulford, who
detained me during that time a hallf willing half unwilling
prisoner. but now, understanding your pleasure in that
particular supposing me to be still in Hampshire, & not knowing
where to lay my head,
