such mention of Tom in your Will as may secure him from any perplexity after your death.
I wish you thoroughly to reflect that your Spirit when Living cannot bend the Laws as it has done a few individuals (who are dependent upon you) to your purpose – as Madame Lambert observes few are Friends to the dead & you may think me severe but I am confident when he has lost your support Tom will never experience the friendship from your Friends which would have been shewn him had he a stronger claim to the name of Hayley. Pride & avarice are the passions of age & our Friends

like ourselves are growing old but here ends domestics. you ask me how I like M.r Twigge I find him cordial & pleasant in his manners but of his understanding my own has been too confused to form a judgment - however as I have now made up my Mind I hope it will grow clearer & tomorrow I shall begin reading the new Botanic Garden which I wish to hear your opinion of & you also promised me a history of your late visit when I had settled my northern tour.
With love to Tom & kind respects to Mary I am
yours very seincerely
