September 12th, 1793. DEAR F ANPUY, th --is s eason of leisure 1 am as fdly occupied as ever your friend ilfr.. DeZ i2e was. So many people to attend, so many complaints to hear, and so many grievances to redress, that it has been impossible for me to write to you sooner. I have been out of town but one single day, I believe, since you were here-that was spent at Richmond with my sisters. But every day produces business for other people, which occupies me as much as ever I found myself in days of hurry about tny own affairs. I have had a negotiation and correspondence to carry on for and with Charlotte Smith of which I believe I told you the beginning, and I do not see the end myself.

This has Delvilecl me not a little for Mr. Wilmot is at Ly mington, Hants, and all the rest of the Committee out of town so that the whole is transacted in that snails pace with which business is done by letters between persons residi lga t a great distance from each other. Well, but you say that M. dArblay is not only his own architect, but intends being his ornil gardener. I suppose the ground allotted to the garden of your mai sonnette is marked out, and probably will be euclosed and broken up before the foundation of your mansion is laid therefore, to encourage M.. dArblay in the study of horticulture, E have the honour to send...
