You will have to indorse this draft for 40 £ – which your Uncle I dare say will get converted into cash for you.

And out of it you will settle your accounts with M^r Fielding,

– or he will do it for you. When that is done, say something <civil> on my part, & particularly that I shall be very glad to see him if ever he comes into this country.

It is not stated in your letters whether you received 25 £ from Bedford, which I requested him to send you, about a month ago,

– & I have not heard from him since. If you have had it, the present supply will set you up well for awhile, & if you have not you may look for it. – I give you full credit for proper economy in the use of money, & – you shall not want it while you are away.

As you like the Longmans,

if they invite you again to spend a day or two there when you return to London, I should like you to accept the invitation.

It is so late that my dispatches must be made up without farther delay. Make my acknowledgements for the bride cake, – & with them my best wishes to the young married people.

Love to M^rs Gonne, – I am glad the bride is M^rs Ch. Gonne, – for I do not think I could like any second M^rs G.

The M^r Egerton whom you are likely to visit tho a schoolfellow, is no acquaintance of mine. His name was Hayter when he was at Westminster

We were in the same boarding house, but probably never spoke to each other, as he was three or four years my senior. I remember him merely as a gentlemanly inoffensive boy, whom nobody disliked, & of whom I never heard any ill.
