Letter summary:
Teases Joseph about his life style – he had called on him twice on his way to from Whitby, but Joseph was at a ball or concert and a party. Describes life at Cambridge. News and questions about acquaintances. Asks if Jonathan Gray’s son was going to be a solicitor; describes him as clever, ‘shrewd and plodding’. Expects to hear from Joseph soon with news including an account of the way in which he spent so much time at the Manor.
