I am really quite ashamed of having So Very long delayed answering Your last very obliging Letter, but I received it during the time I was travelling about to Weymouth and different ^addition places /addition and having put it carefully by in order to answer it when I returned I mislaid it, and have only just found it. I have received a Letter from unclear ^ addition in consequence of Your Letter /addition in which He puts me in mind of an old promise of Mine to send Him a Watch, and at the same time says that I have never settled an account with Him about some Dutch Lottery Tickets in which I was Concerned.

Never having been accustomed however to See any Such quantity as I have in spite of all this found here, I do not join in the Cry, I have never shot So well in my life as I do now, I have been indebted to Bishop Cornwallis for some good days sport, upon Lord Cornwallis's Manors
