July 10.—

I really begin to be hurried. My mother, you know, is exactly punctilious in every thing. Such a quantity of things are bought, and such a quantity to be bought, that there is no end of journeys into the city. Then milleners and mantur-makers! One would think I was going to pass the remainder of my life in a remote country, where there were no kind of manufactures or artificers to be come at; and that I was to provide cloathing for half a century.
