In the upper right comer of address panel "Barnet" is stamped in black ink, and a "4" written in black ink shows amount of postage. Partial, cracked, red seal attached. Ridge. June 30th 1795. My dear Mother That I am one of the unfortunate I have too long known, but it is peculiarly mortifying to me to cause Uneasiness & Disappointment to others. - My Leg (from what cause I know not) became suddenly so much inflamed last night that I have been in much pain with it ever since: -- Having appointed to be in Town To-morrow & meet Mrs Mitz at Cotton's[?] on Thursday I could certainly come (in a Post Chaise) but the Misfortune is th' I am unable to stand at all upon my Leg, therefore must be a useless piece of Lumber in Company, as yet. - Mr Corpe is doing all he can for me. I am truly sorry to be deprived of the pleasure I promised myself on Thursday in meeting Mrs Mason &c but there is certainly a fate against me at present. Pray send the enclosed (by Mr Hull, or some other safe & speedy Messenger) as I am expected to meet Miss Mackenzie at Paddington, in order to give her a Lesson, as before agreed upon. - I know you will forward the Note with the utmost expedition. If I can walk across a Room by Monday I shall undoubtedly be conveyed to you somehow or other, & if Mrs Mason does not leave London next week, I shall anxiously endeavour to join the party some day if there be any possibility of it. [Letter mutilated by the cutting away of the signature.] [P.S.] You may guess that I am not very patient in my Sufferings, tho' I can safely say I value them not on my own acc[o)unt.
