be in a constant State of uneasiness, because accountable for the life& health of a friend's Son —& now we are on this Subject I cannot omit saying something concerning the State of Thomas's mind, if I may conjecture from appearances I don't believe that he has ever been happy in London, his love of retirement & his Native place seem always foremost in his thoughts, & that has shewn itself strikingly for many Months past, thus it is very likely that the disorder of the Mind has added to that of the body; You will favor me with Your Sentiments on the Subject in a future letter, for the present I have laid down a plan for his exercise in Sculpture at Eartham & Petworth which will tend to his improvement for a considerable time to come — pray give my love to him &, thank him for his solicitude concerning the Statue of the L:d Mayor which (thank God) is safely erected & finished much to the satisfaction of my employer &, the Citizens, it is cased up at present because the Church is repairing,
many thanks for the quotation from Aretin, which M:l Angelo's civility praised, but whose good sense I suppose despised the farago [sic] of fashionable Allegory as much as we do — Nancy writes in kindest wishes to Yourself, Tom & all the Household & I have the honor
to remain Dear Sir
