DR F.—I simply sent for the Miltons because Alsop has some Books of mine, and I thought they might travel with them. But keep ’em as much longer as you like. I never trouble my head with other people’s quarrels, I do not always understand my own. I seldom see them in Dover Street. I know as little as the Man in the Moon about your joint transactions, and care as little. If you have lost a little portion of my “good will,” it is that you do not come and see me. Arrange with Procter, when you have done with your moving accidents.
