pays at Mr Crowther's: or my Brother pays at his Hosts. The first I
have known but have forgotten: the second I never knew. The third I
know. But that I be suffer'd to pay for my board I insist on as
a right: because such was our agreement. I also insist upon it

purpose of sending away for a considerable time: and orders actually
given about the carrying them before I saw your letter.
The two Guineas is not nor ever was your's unless you choose to
make it so. your right to do which certainly is what nobody can dispute. I gave it you; as you may remember upon trust: think —
