THIS is my notion. Wait till you are able to throw away a round sum (say £1500) upon a speculation, and then—don’t do it. For all your loving encouragemts—till this final damp came in the shape of your letter, thanks—for Books also—greet the Fosters and Proctors—and come singly or conjunctively as soon as you can. Johnson and Fare’s sheets have been wash’d—unless you prefer Danby’s last bed—at the Horseshoe.
