James Northcote, London, to Mr. Northcote
He is short of time to finish what he has to do in London but will ask
Sir Joshua his permission to leave on the thirteenth0; he will travel to Portsmouth with Tom Mudge; he saw
Garrick act Sir John Brute for the last time; he has had his tooth extracted; he is glad his home town is not the only place he can fly for succour; he has said goodbye to the Bells and Manleys; details domestic arrangements.
