My dear Brother
I am much obliged to you for
your kind letter which I found here on my coming
to Town and it gives me great satisfaction to
find that I have so good a chance of seeing
you when I return from Kent. I go there
the day after tomorrow, and hope to be
able to get back to town (in case no cross
accident happens) by this day sennight. I
then propose spending about a week in London
the enjoyment of which will be greatly encreased
by having the pleasure of meeting you here.
Lord Craven is so good to give me an
apartment in his house during my stay, so
if you will be so good to let me know where
you are when you arrive, we will contrive
to be as much together as possible. I hear

[f.104v]

of no public news of any consequence, M^r Ritts
Motion is now agitating in the house of
Commons, and is supposed will be negatived
by a large majority. People are divided in
opinion about the coalition, but the fairest
way surely will be to judge of them by
their actions. I write in great haste
and will therefore only add that I shall
be most truly happy to see you and I
hope Charles (to whom pray give my kind
love) will accompany you
Adieu my dear Brother
Believe me your sincere
and very affectionate
RA Johnson
