            <p>Last evening I had been to take leave of Mr. Anderson on the Hill, preparatory to our
              leaving for Bolt Court today, when I found your letter countermanding for another week
              our departure. It astounded me, but I acquiesce. Yet you must be acquainted with our
              situation here. We are shillingless. Am I to draw on Mr Tyler for a further supply?
              Will that impede any proposed arrangement with him, or how would you advise? Will you
              write me, or may I expect to see &amp; confer with you, which may perhaps be more
              satisfactory to each, as it is so long since we met. I doubt not my friend of the
              difficulties you refer to, and am most sensible of your earnest wishes &amp;
              endeavours in our behalf. Be assured of my full reliance on your judgment, &amp; of my
              willingness to be guided by you to the end.</p>
