I am still without a Line from you in answer to several of my Letters: I have I hope sufficiently cleared up my apparent Neglect: You must I think have received four of my Letters since yours by the Abbé Morellet: In my last I believe I mentioned that Mrs. Hewson had at length determined to accept your Invitation, She had really told me so, and I had begun to make some Arrangements for our Journey; Judge then of my Surprise, when I went to see her this Morning at Cheam—to learn that she had taken a contrary Resolution: However she did not speak quite positive, and I am to see her again on the Subject; Mr. Elphinston went with me—and prevented our discussing the Matter fully: When Persons once change, there’s no Reason for their not continuing to do so: Tho’ I should not suspect Mrs. Hewson of this—had not her late Conduct in some measure given me cause to apprehend it. Let what will however turn up, unless I receive any thing to the contrary from you, I shall get away as soon after Thursday next, as possible: I wait ’till that Day—Mr. Vaughan having press’d me much to dine with him—and meet Dr. Price and other of your Friends.

The Press, Moore has been making for you, is now compleat—and as soon as I have seen it, it will be forwarded according to your Directions.

I continue well—and am as ever, my dearest Sir, Your most dutiful and affectionate Grandson
