You may rely, that I shall be with you by dinner, on Friday; at half
past three, or four at farthest.

I shall not dine with Pitt, as Mr. and Mrs. Long are staying there.
Not that I ever saw her in my life, nor care if I never do.

I pray that I may not be annoyed, on my arrival: it is retirement with
my friends, that I wish for.

Thank Sir William, kindly, for his letter; and the inclosure, which I
return.

Sutton is much pleased with your letter; and, with Bedford, will
certainly make you a visit. They are both truly good and kind to me.

Our weather has been cold these two days, but not bad. I have got a
fire in the cabin; and, I hope my complaint will go off.

May Heaven bless you!

I send this, through Troubridge, direct in Piccadilly.

I shall, you may rely, admire the pig-stye, ducks, fowls, &c. for
every thing you do, I look upon as perfect.

Dr. Baird has been aboard, to see me. He thinks, I shall be better;
and, that a few days on shore will set me up again.

Make my kind remembrances to Sir William, the Duke, and all friends;
and believe me, ever, your most affectionate
