My dear Sir James, Rose Castle, Sept. 6, 1822. 
I observe one odd thing this year. Although last 
year we had such a multitude of wasps that they 
ate up all our fruit, this year not one has been seen 
yet. Another odd thing took place:—the swift 
left us in the beginning of August; and during last 
week, when there were violent rains, storm and 
tempest, there was not a swallow or martin to be 
seen; but this week they have appeared again. 
- Was it that the wind and storms destroyed their 
food? and now the serenity of the atmosphere has 
brought them all back again,—I cannot say in such 
numbers as before. Indeed this year they came 
some weeks later, and were by far less numerous 
than usual. 
I envy you at the sea side. 
Yours,

titude of inflammatory speeches are made, that the 
passions of the ignorant must be set to work. The 
principal people concerned, think that the rabble 
are too far off to presume to take a lead; but that 
distinction is set aside, more or less, at. every meet-
