Summary
Writing to arrange a visit and to facetiously upbraid her for suggesting that he had forgotten his previous visit with her; responding to her promise to show him "a good Whig", remarking "with them I feel pretty much as Swift did with the lawyers,'I hate all lawyers he said, "but I like counsellor so & so' - so tis with me, & their Whigships."; complaining that "The harvest is in - but the book does not advance - though I am eternally scribbling".
