“A thousand thanks for your kind letter. I really
cannot thank you for it as I ought, for I am nearly the same person that you

“Don’t you think that if the above proposal is right that the communication between the lawyers ought to be deferr’d till we get to town.

I am glad Lord Dorchester is not here, for I believe it would kill me. Pray burn this.
