Wrote to Mr. [David] Hall that he received his bills. Hopes his 

 anger is over. Thinks it would improve cousin Josey if he was to come 

 to England and work in some of the best marble shops for a year or 

 two. Is sorry to hear of any disturbance in the Academy the rather 

 as by his introducing that imprudent man [William Smith?], he thinks
