第306章 LETTER CXCVII(1)

LONDON,February 26,1754.

MY DEAR FRIEND:I have received your letters of the 4th,from Munich,and of the 11th from Ratisbon ;but I have not received that of the 31st January,to which you refer in the former.It is to this negligence and uncertainty of the post,that you owe your accidents between Munich and Ratisbon:for,had you received my letters regularly,you would have received one from me before you left Munich,in which I advised you to stay,since you were so well there.But,at all events,you were in the wrong to set out from Munich in such weather and such roads;since you could never imagine that I had set my heart so much upon your going to Berlin,as to venture your being buried in the snow for it.Upon the whole,considering all you are very well off.You do very well,in my mind,to return to Munich,or at least to keep within the circle of Munich,Ratisbon,and Manheim,till the weather and the roads are good:

stay at each or any of those places as long as ever you please;for I am extremely indifferent about your going to Berlin.

As to our meeting,I will tell you my plan,and you may form your own accordingly.I propose setting out from hence the last week in April,then drinking the Aix-la-Chapelle waters for a week,and from thence being at Spa about the 15th of May,where I shall stay two months at most,and then return straight to England.As I both hope and believe that there will be no mortal at Spa during my residence there,the fashionable season not beginning till the middle of July,I would by no means have you come there at first,to be locked up with me and some few Capucins,for two months,in that miserable hole;but I would advise you to stay where you like best,till about the first week in July,and then to come and pick me up at Spa,or meet me upon the road at Liege or Brussels.As for the intermediate time,should you be weary of Manheim and Munich,you may,if you please,go to Dresden,to Sir Charles Williams,who will be there before that time;or you may come for a month or six weeks to The Hague;or,in short,go or stay wherever you like best.So much for your motions.

As you have sent for all the letters directed to you at Berlin,you will receive from thence volumes of mine,among which you will easily perceive that some were calculated for a supposed perusal previous to your opening them.I will not repeat anything contained in them,excepting that Idesire you will send me a warm and cordial letter of thanks for Mr.

Eliot;who has,in the most friendly manner imaginable,fixed you at his own borough of Liskeard,where you will be elected jointly with him,without the least opposition or difficulty.I will forward that letter to him into Cornwall,where he now is.
