Malthouse: it is but 20 guineas a year
indeed; but it is that clear of land tax; & were
it but twenty pence, it is so much got out
of the fire: provided always that the man
pays his rent.
1/4 after 10
W. has just called in and spent about
an hour him talking politics &c, and
so this letter will be the shorter for it.
I thought it but to lose no time in answering
yours and therefore shall not
keep it back a to fill it . As for
politics I am afraid of writing a syllable
about the matter for fear of the
letters being made prize of a s W.'s was
Your ostensible letter having a few inaccuracies
was upon the whole not amiss in
point of stile: two or three good strokes
in the shewy way. That short bit of a
scrap of a thing from Chernobyl was
terrible. I don't know whether I told you
of it before, but there are some passages
which to this hour I cant make sense
of.
I received a letter yesterday from
La folle: D. I don't know whether I
told you ) has been to Wales: he was out
about a month & came here about
spirits. As for her she says she never was
better not happier in her life. So all that
is mighty well.
There has been a Mr Dunstable, he
says enquiring for a book on Nav Archit
---page break---
which he says he lent you — and he asks
me whether I know anything of it. no
not I. Poor Mr Dunstable! I suppose
you have got it at Petersbourg. he
must bring his action in some of your fine
courts there. I shall probably go to
Brampton in about 6 weeks &c. I suppose
shall spend about a month there
, but in the mean time I shall take especial
measures for my letters being
forwarded immediately without rambling
to Q.S.P. &c
Encore une fois. I thought it best
to write forthwith that you might clear
your mind of the affair: which is the reason
of my not sending the Ship-building
extract from the Phil. Transt. I told
you of in my last.
Being near the conclusion of my
no-letter, I should begin as other great
men do, to make pothooks and hangers
such as the Devil himself can't read
There is a prospect of Mrs Accers's
being gathered to her fathers or mothers
or whatever it is she is to be gather'd to.
Her gout this season is attended with
other disorders: and the Doctor thinks
upon the whole she will hardly get the
better of this bout: but Mrs. D. has
better hopes.
Simmons has lep off to Linquist who
now is now small personage. I hope this
poor man's name will not dub my letter
a political one.
