333—to James Wedderburn Webster
Stilton, September 25th, 1813.
My Dear W.,—Thus far can I "report progress," and as a solid token of my remembrance I send you a
cheese
of 13 lbs. to enable your digestion to go through the race week. It will go to night; pray let your retainers enquire after it. The date of this letter will account for so homely a present. On my arrival in town I will write more on our different concerns. In the mean time I wish you and yours all the gratification on Doncaster you can wish for yourselves.
love to the faithless Nettle
(who I dare say is
wronging
me during my absence), and my best Compliments to all in your house who will receive them.
Ever, dear W., yours truly,
B.
