I have not yet got my box out of the Customhouse, the Cloaths
are certainly confiscated though I am promised that they shall be sold
very cheap if I choose to buy them. Every article will pay duty.
none less than 1/3 of their value.
Since I have got into my lodgings I have kept an exact journal
in a book destined for that purpose. I have not as yet brought
myself to write an every day what belongs to that day but I have
seldom let pass more than one day. I have hopes therefore that
in a little time you will find me more regular in my information.
I have so many objects of attention that method
is to be sure of the highest importance, but the case is that
there are so many things happen to me of the affecting kind that
they will not break through the firmest resolutions I can make
about method. Is the answer to my letter to my father
about settling my money concerns shall set my mind at ease
in that respect, I think a little time will suffice to put
me in good order.
Continue to direct your letters to me at Petersburg without
any regard to my title here.
