June 29^th 1813.

My dear Mamma,

I think the book is very pretty: I hope you are coming to the Speeches – Sperling, the captain, speaks Gray’s ode “the Bard”. – Welsh speaks the speech of Cassius ² – I never saw such a tremendous shower as fell yesterday: – Some pipe burst, & the servants hall got full of water. – I have learned 100 lines of Virgil this morning by heart: it is about good & bad soils – & vines, olives, & corn. I am in the 2^d Georgick 250^th line – Jane ³ has not answered my last letter. I am going to do my theme. It is about frugality – So I shall be frugal of my writing

Y^r Aff^te Son

Pray come to the Speeches. At one oclock on Thursday next – Precisely
