[21 — To Hargreaves Hanson.]

Burgage Manor, Southwell, Notts, 15 April, 1805.

Dear Hargreaves

, — As I have been unable to return to Town with your father, I must request, that you will take care of my Books, and a parcel which I expect from my Taylor's, and, as I understand you are going to pay Farleigh a visit, I would be obliged to you to leave them under the care of one of the Clerks, or a Servant, who may inform me where to find them. I shall be in Town on Wednesday the 24th at furthest, when I shall not hope to see you, or wish it; not but what I should be glad of your

entertaining and loquacious Society

, but as I think you will be more amused at Farleigh, it would be selfish in me to wish that you should forego the pleasures of contemplating

pigs
