As my leg continues very much swelled,
I am still confined to my room, and moslly,
indeed, to my bed, from whence I have
written you the greatest part of these two
epistles, the enormous length of which I
am ashamed of. However, as I have still
omitted several articles, that I intended to
take notice of, I shall add a sequel to-mor-

I am obliged to drop all farther thoughts
of climbing mountains, though there are
many things I still wanted to examine.
Adieu.
Ever yours.
