Queen's Coll. Wednesday March 4th 1761
Dear Papa
Your letter which I received yesterday gave me a
great deal of concern to find you so angry with me tho' justly
for a fault which I indeed was guilty off, but not willingly;
Sir I would have wrote to you as I promised if it had not
been for a deep cut in my finger which I gave myself
while I was mending a pen to write you with, just where
I hold my pen; so that I could not hold it well enough to
write intelligibly; indeed you write to me nothing but bad
news; but I hope you will send me better next time; for it
concerned me vastly to hear poor dear Sammy was so ill. I hope
I have justified myself as to not writing to you in all this while; as
to the Translation I have been forced to omitt sending you if I can
40 pages this week instead of 20, and the same number
the next which will just do. however you may think me idle
I fancy when you understand how much business I do, you will alter
your opinion. for what with logic, Geography, Greek Testament
Tully de Oratore and this translation, I think I shall have prety
well enough to do. at 10 o' Clock we go to lecture in logic
and as we can never get the bedmaker scarce to come to us
