[Samuel?] On my return home yesterday from town after posting a letter to you at paris I found one from you dated from [Geneva?] 11th last. I am provoked for you will not get it it had come on to rain heavily or I would have gone in again after dinner to try if they would give me back the letter that I might have readdressed it to London I had allowed [Britton?] to go out as soon as he had done up the house in his own business and James has not at home so I could not do any thing [better?] it go to Paris, I am glad to hear you were [his?] home so soon [quite?] time for the wedding on the 1st September and for my party on the 2nd Septr [September?] I went over and saw uncle before he went to town this morning & asked him to send you an order for the œ50 you wish for he demurred rather and said you had been getting very much more money than he was authorised to give, I said in a few days now you would be of age when all past accts [accounts?] would be settled and his responsibility at an end - he then said he would see Mr Boyd about it today, when he went to town, but dear Saml [Samuel?] dont begin by any foolish extravagance remember how valuable your income is to you & how much you want to do with it, My letter to Paris would have told you the [count?] is closed now till November and nothing done about [Birmicham?] Mr [Par?] wrote Sam to this effect saying they would be glad to give you possession at once but Sam bid me say you must lay out any money upon it till you have your lease for that when the property is put up for sale nothing could find Mr Dobbs to let the property go at your bid, if a higher sum was offered for it, you must then either advance in your offer or lose the money you may have expended in improvements, but you will be home in time to see Sam before he starts for the continent if he gets away at all my last told you of the right of way [sic] case to the Care Hill had been tried these last assizes, Mr Magill with Mr Brewster as his special council assessed by O'Haghan fought hard but did not conquer Mr Donnagh & Josh Harrison gained a verdict the Hill is once more open to the public on foot.
