I cannot charge myself with ever...
Your letter and the Boy were immediately sent to M r . Punderson, who I’ve not seen since but am informed that he is well pleased with him. Seal the inclosed before you deliv r : it to M r . Kissam and you may conclude an agreem nt with him, viz t : To pay him £200 when the time of y r . being with him Commences, that is, immediately after the passing of y r Degrees at College in May next, tho...

March. There is indeed a Letter dated at Falmouth on the 5 th ....
When you consider that all the Causes you have hither to tried, have been by a kind of Inspiration; you will need only a small degree of Enthusiasm to be persuaded, that my Lameness is a providential Mercy to You, by calling you to action again.

Peter, and let them act therein as they think best— Make my Complim ts . to Doct r . Johnson and tell him that I’m very sorry for M r . Punderson’s & the Peoples disappointm ts :, and ^ that ^ I wish it mayn’t prove unfortun te
it’s very long since I’ve recd: any Letters from you. I recd: last Post a Letter from Doctr: Johnson who remembers his Love to you and is desirous that you should write to him, and he would be glad to know how the College goes on now— I would have you gratify him w th a Letter next week per the Post, w ch . he has a right to expect from you, and altho I believe things go on well in the College...
I should long since have answered your kind Letter but heard you & Benson intended me a Visit in the Vacation, which I should have been very glad of, & since that, I have been much engaged either in Company riding or writing.— It was with much pleasure that I received your Letter & the Account you gave me of the good Condition of things at the College since I left it, for which I am no less...
I have recd: your Letter of last Friday.— I’m of your oppinion that M r . Ernest’s Terms are too high—I shall be well pleas d : to have you lodg’d at M rs . John Livingston’s or any other more private Family than I take D—n’s to be, & w th . whom (between us) I apprehend it would not sute very well—If you can get suted near M r . Kissam’s or in that part of the Town, it will be more convenient...
I’ve not receiv’d a line from you since I left Town—the Post told me ^ this Morn g : ^ the Commencem t . is this Day, so that I suppose you’ll come up next Thursday w th . Barker—and you may go down w th . me again tomorrow Senight, in ord r . to settle w th . M r . Kissam, acquain
On receipt of this Letter, you must immediately deliver the inclosed to M r . Auchmuty— As much noise is made in Town abo t . Jemmy’s suffering the Bills of the Govern rs . of the College to be returned protested, I send you the rough draught of my Letter to M r . Auchmuty on that head—Jemmy is indeed very remiss for ^ in ^ not sending his Reasons to them for his Proceedg s :, and so are the...
