Summary:
Received Smith's letter of 13 [October]; congratulates him on his approaching marriage. His opinion on his own marriage and the instituiton in general. Dr [James] Anderson staying. Weather "boisterous & rainy" but the cataracts and cascades have been in "high beauty" and never saw Devil's Bridge in "greater glory" than a few days ago, when he was visited by an old school friend.
Coming to London this month but longs for the time, as Falstaff [Shakespeare character] says, when "I can live cleanly & like a gentleman".
