I hope you will ex my writing thus again. Horace has never said or hinted it to me rest???? assured???? that you had hurt his feelings in any way; on the contrary I remember that he distinctly said that you had been very kind in attending to him & had brought him on much in studying????.— I do not ???? ???? understand for his disposition is rather reserved & peculiar???? why he wishes to leave school; but the wish has been persistent & I have always followed, hitherto with ???? my sons wishes. I freely own I have always felt doubtful about a private tutor for him— And this leads me to add, that I remember making a similar remark together with the 2 other sentences quoted before, in my letter to you, which no doubt was lost by the post-off. Mrs D. also believes that she remembers my writing shortly before the Boys return.— I hope that you will believe that I did write for it wd have been an unpardonable rudery???? not to have written a second note, in addition???? to that which you enclosed earlier????, before removing my son— This note requires no acknowledgment & is written only for my own satisfaction
