To James Hutton LEWISHAM, January 8, 1774. DEAR JEMMY, On Tuesday I was tapped by Mr. Wathen See letter of Dec. 31, 1773, and now (blessed be God) I am well and easy. I hope yours is an hydrocele; because, if so, it admits of an easy remedy. The being tapped, if you have a skilful surgeon, is no more than being let blood. I expect dominucete's fumes will do you neither harm nor good Hutton wrote to the Moravian Society on Jan. 16 resigning his position as Chairman on account of his deafness. See Benham's Hutton, p.496. Domine stekan a corruption of Dominus tecum. If you can spare half an hour on Monday, I shall be glad of your company. I will endeavor to be at Mr. Atwood's Wesley dined with Atwood on various occasions, See Journal Index, house (one of the King's musicians) by two o'clock on Monday. He lives at Pimlico, just behind the Queen's Gardens. I suppose Mr. Rivington's advertisement is only a puff, as the booksellers call it. I am, dear Jemmy, Yours affectionately.
