Mr. Farquharson
Your favour of the 23d. past was most
acceptable, as the Young Gentleman was still waiting
for the information required. His Guardians
have now agreed to send him to Mr. Angiers
immediately but desire me in the first place
to give you a little further trouble which I hope
shall be paid for, but in the mean time I pre¬
sume upon your very great goodness to me
to beg of you that you will go as soon as you
conveniently can to Mr. Angiers to know if at
present he has room to take in a young
Gentleman and his tutor and if he has to fix
terms with him for the Cure and for the Lodging
and Board of the young Gentleman and his
tutor. {illeg} Young Gentlemans Ailment {illeg}
{illeg} entirely as I think {illeg}
[Page 2]
from bashfullness and bad habit and without
any Organic fault or failure to be perceived and
therefore we expect the Cure will not be tedious
nor Mr. Angiers demands will not be extra¬
vagant but we are willing to be genteel and
would allow you to settle it with very little
reserve. The board we suppose to be a matter
fixed but will wait your report for dispatching
the young Gentleman and your giving it me soon
will be very obliging to
Dear Sir
Your much obliged and
Most Obedient Servant
