Linc. Inn. Thursday Feb: 11th 1779
You Mr Sir, what's the matter with you that you don't write?
Not to tell me any thing yet about Afan. about Blanquet,
about Randal? Understand all the while that I have got your
scrap of a letter but that's = ax + -y² ∛sm = 0.
This afternoon forenoon crossing Linc. Inn Square to go to Q.S.P. I
met Fitzherbert - He quitted the company he was in to come and
speak to me. He asked me after you - whether you had got yet
what you wanted; & what the state was of your expectations? I told
him, as they were: That the vacancy you were then wishing to fill
up was filled up long ago: that there was no immediate expectation
of a vacancy at present, and that if there were, you had no
prospect of succeeding to it. He said his friend to whom he had
spoken about it before had mentioned it again to him tother day,
taking notice of the rule that he had understood had been laid down
about the task work, (saying or Fitzherbert himself saying I am not
certain which) that he thought it a very absurd one: and offering
to do whatever was in his power to renew the application for your
benefit. Cursed stuff I am writing - but no matter - you understand
me. His friend (Perrin is his name) had added that
he was intimate with Middleton the new Comptroller: & if he thought
it would be of any use he would speak to Middleton. Fitzh.
concluded with wishing me to state your pretensions in an ostensible letter to him in the manner
before proposed — I forget whether any such letter was sent. I believe
not: but somewhere or other you have a rough draught of it. Find it
