'I have just finished the Lady of the Lake. – I read all the notes. I have also read these plays of Shakespeare. John. Richard 2d. Henry 4th & I am now reading Henry 5th. I have nearly finished it – Sir James Ramsay has got nearly 70 £ worth of books well bound, here. I intend to borrow them all, one after another. I hurt my arm very much Wednesday last, but it is almost well now. Pray send me some more dates and French plums, for they are universally admired.'
