1717/8. Feb. 11th. Went to Newcastle : rained, so that we stopt
at Ogle and stayed all night. Mr. Cutteri^^ disordered by the
severity of his father—^among other things about a young lady.
Uncle intimates (as he has done in other places) that he could easily
cure hina at the Bath—with a design that Duke Cutter should know
of it, etc.
1717/8. Feb. 12th. Cost us 7s. last night, etc. Uncle gave me
ten guineas at uncle Reed's, said I might manage it well, it might be
a good while ere I gott as much again—I might buy a saddle,
moi'ning-gown, etc., but he thought my mother might find me, with
shirts.
1717/8. Feb. 13th. Cousin Clark sent a gown—too gaudy for
me : took only a transient view of his letter, and saw the 11. 15s.
as he had given it in to micle Richard, and then they thought it over
dear, for brother Ijought one as good again almost for 2 guineas at
New Exchange ; but was surprized to find it two pound, fifteen
shillings, and one iDOuud given in for books. Shall remember cousin
Grainger ; she is a near mean woman to impose so upon a relation
I can buy 18 yards of new satin here for two or three and fifty
shilling, and making would not cost me above three or four more,
if I employed a taylor, etc. I told John my sentiments of the matter.
Harry and Charles invited me to
Cambridge to sitt for Mr. Mangey's
fellowship,!^^ which he promised to resign this election upon condition
I would sitt for it, otherwise he would keep it till the next
uncles would not left me go. They propose marriage, but if their
minds change (as uncle John seems very fickle, by his. laying aside
the thoughts of Mrs. Orde and speering out another—Mrs. Leonards
in Carlisle (whose guardians he is sure he can manage, if I can make
my part good with the lady), or Mrs. Davison at Beemish,!^^ or one
at Highgate Castle) I shall think my self unfortunate that I did not
importune them to go to Cambridge.
