Dear Sam
Of what Mr Gray loses by your absence one way, he gains
only a part the other - Your pay is 1s. 6d pr day - the
cost of your board is but half that - This I know by my
experience - for I am lately become a Housekeeper - When
we meet again I hope to give you a dinner - clear not
as at the 3 Tuns - & plentiful, not as at Queen's Square -
I have laid in a Stock of Apples, which your friend Mrs Green
covers for me with a coat of rice - I hope to have your
opinion that in that form, by the help of a Julip of Wine & Butter they make a very pleasant
Bolus. For Meat I have a Machine by which upon occasion,
I could dress any thing myself without incessant watching,
burning out my eyes or greasing my fingers.
You complain of the multitude of your speculations upon
Euclid — clap them all down - it takes up less time
than considering whether they are necessary or no — When
you are in possession of a certain quantity, by surveying
them with this view, you may reduce collect them into genera,
and so reduce the multitude of them, or rather the space
they occupy upon the paper, for the future. As to your scheme
of residing here, for about a fortnight at Christmas it is easily compossible, or rather
is concluded upon already — For any further contrivance,
you know it depends neither on you nor me, but
upon Queen's Square. There is one condition however on which
