DHRG No. 101852
Thanks for present. Correspondence mostly cleared. JHS had written to Mr. Lister and Aunt about his marriage etc. Binks not a good taylor, but very reasonable charges, particularly for the embroidered coat. When last in town measured by Coombes & Davis, popular with the regiment, better than Binks. JHS asked JS if he would pay his debt at Andres, 120 New Bond Street. Mrs. Duncan was a woman of discernment & great taste: everyone agreed. JS's conclusion about Duncan's conduct probably correct. He was obliged to JS for the offer. JHS heard from mother that Holdsworth was made Recorder.

The above letter came that day. Robert arrived the previous Friday. Nurse Fox said that the foreman's place in the Sailmaker's Loft would soon be vacant, Commis & Duncan had the disposal of it. Letter from John at Bristol; his approaching happiness & of his living at Mt. Boone, & that JS intended to get Stoke Cliff. She should have been consulted first; her objection was that the only comfortable bed in the house was the one Harriot died on, which SS would never occupy, otherwise the house would have done very well. She thought Lady Jodrell's house or Belmont, if obtainable would be very desirable.

Lord R. gave JS the highest commendation when he volunteered into the Line, & again recommended him for a Company & would continue to speak without reserve to General Tarleton. The system of regulation etc of the prisons led to misunderstanding between the agents etc & the military. Very happy about JS soon to be settled in Life and wished him happiness.

Paulina urgently wished for an opportunity to answer JS's letter. In the midst of a crowd she lived in solitude. Mother dined with the Miss Rolles but she was confined then with a cold. She continued her studies, especially drawing, so Mr. Peggi was satisfied as was Mr. Gollard with her minuet, Jig & strathspey, & Mr. Evans with her singing. No plays or operas since JS left but would be going to Mrs. Adavis' smart party the next day. She looked forward to see the New Arcadia. Aunt should name her favourite spot Elyslum. Did Robert continue his flirtation with Miss Bond. Remembrance to him & Mrs. Adams. No News.

Mr. Adams had given TL CM's address. TL was soon to be married to a lady called Grove, of tolerable fortune, beauty & worth. No doubt of happiness. Harriet was the best of wives. Little Tom the finest of all lads. Hopeful that CH could devote a furlough to a Staffordshire ??tour TL feared he could not live to see the end of the war. It was rumoured that Mr. Pitt would convert additional regiments into regulars.

After a very long cruise many letters had accumulated to be answered to different departments of Government. PC only had one small cabin, so he had to stop teaching Charles French & his own studies. He was able to give Charles leave of absence. In September 1804 they found a brig in the Passage called the Fresland ? between Holland & the Isle of Ameland. PC formed a detachment of 35 Officers & men which he would lead. PC told Charles to stay on the Scorpion. He begged to go with the detachment saying he could bayonet the raid shipmen of his size. PC at length relented. They boarded & carried the Brig without difficulty. She turned out to be the British Tar of Leith taken by the French in August. It was grounded so unable to tow her away. PC had to burn her. He expected to get to London in about a week when he could put Charles on the coach for Dartmouth or send him to Mr. Kekewich in Milman Street. He sent congratulations on his friend's recent marriage.
