This induced Sir Nash to make a speech of thanks. 
As it happened, all these little things (together with 
Marsham’s, MacLeay’s, and Brown’s thanks) enli- 
vened the day not a little, and sent every one home 
expressing what a pleasant day we had had. 
I must say that I never knew a day go off more 
harmoniously. 
Marsham and MacLeay will give you all the de- 
tail of the finance matters and other particulars 
more immediately within their provinces. Dillwyn 
was with us; Mr. Forster, who has lately, he told 
me, lost his father ; Dr. Maton, Mr. Lambert, Mr. 
Symmons, Mr. Rackett. Dr. Rees was at the rooms 
in the morning. I pressed him to dine with us, that 
I might have an opportunity of improving my ac- 
quaintance with him. He excused himself from 
dining with us, pleading that he was not well. 
Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Knight, Mr. Davies Giddy, 
were with us in the morning, but were engaged to 
dine at other places. 
Sir A. Hume and Lord Valentia, the Bishop of 
Salisbury and others, had promised to dine with us, 
but did not come. However, “All’s well that ends 
well.” We must not expect at any time to have 
everything our own way. 
This will relieve Mrs.Smith from no small anxiety, 
and your many other friends. 
It will be a great pleasure to me to hear you are 
better. : 
I am, dear Sir, 
Your very faithful humble Servant, 
S. CARLISLE.
