APPENDICES 339 



I am, however, in some doubt whether the waters do me 

 good or not, but I shall be satisfied on that point in a few 

 days, and if I find that they are not doing me any service, 

 I shall certainly not remain here. 



I propose, when I return to London, to live at the house 

 I have taken near my own, which I hope will be ready, 

 and that I shall find you in your own house. I am now 

 going to an Assembly at Mrs. Macartney's, a sister of 

 Mrs. Greville's, where I shall meet Mrs. Murray and Mrs. 

 Calender, two sisters that are very pretty and very agree- 

 able. They are Scotch, which makes us quite well 

 acquainted, though we have not known one another very 

 long. Crawford and I dine generally tete-a-tete. I do not 

 like the trouble of getting people to dine with us, and 

 being obliged to do the honours of our hotel. 



10th. 

 I am still here, but shall certainly go to Brighthelm- 

 stone to-morrow, and as surely be in London either on 

 Friday or Saturday. The weather grows cold, and this 

 place will thin very fast. The Duchess of Hamilton talks 

 of staying till she is obliged to come to attend the Queen. 

 Wedderburne and his sister came yesterday. I dine with 

 them to-day ; and little Selwyn, who is the only man here 

 you know except Charles Price and Lord L. He would 

 have been very glad to have seen you. You are quite well 

 in that family, and they are all angry you did not come 

 down. I should have persuaded you very much to have 

 come, if I had thought of staying till this time. Upon the 

 whole, I like my expedition very much, and should certainly 

 have liked it better if you had been here. Adieu ! my 

 dear George. I expect to find something from you at 

 Brighthelmstone, for my letters have been there since
