Your Letter and Box pr. Barker is received—yr Letter pr. Alley was deliver’d me since Fady was here,—1 it’s more safe to send yr. Letters &ca. pr. Barker—

Your observation on the Study of the Law, I believe, is very just, and as it’s yr inclination to be of that Profession, I hope you’ll closely attend to it with a firm Resolution that no difficultyes in prossecuting that Study shall discourage you from applying very close to it, and if possible, [illegible] ^from taking^ a delight in it.—the dictionary you’ve bought is doubtless necessary for you, but as to other Books, I suppose you have them in the College, or doubtless on application to yr Uncle or Aunt Chambers, they would let you have the reading of such of his Books as you may want—2 it’s paying very dear from them to buy them at York.—I’m glad you’ve wrote to Doctr: Johnson—we all remember our love to you, & I always am dear Johnny.
