Windsor Dec. 5th, Tuesday, 1837.

Last week I attended Hertford (Nov. Term) Court.
I think I enjoyed myself better that week than
I have during the all my stay in Windsor.
Somehow or other, I felt relieved of [dressressed?]
feeling - I felt a greater freedom of thought -
my independence returned home to me. This supp-
ose was because I had returned home. One thing,
I was at that time in better health which may
be the whole secret. - Had I written every day
I might have produced something entertaining
In Murfreesboro, for there was during the week
I had to smother disgust at the big and selfish
notions after for money. I bespoke a suit of clothes.
The merchants over polite and over assiduous
exaggerated out of conscience. I verily believe though
that this conduct caused me to make a cons-
iderable bill at one house. My object was to
economise a suit of clothes out of some of
them, and this is the reason why I made my
bill where I did - not that I was smitten by the
game of over politeness paid me which the
merchant no doubt thought was the cause
of my trading with him. When I went into
that hoouse I had no notion of making
a bill with it - and the only bill I made
was there. So much for economy, not for
their disgusting attentions - -

Well, I am again returned to my home Windsor and to
my business I return posponing composition till I
go back to Hertford. Windsor seems uncongenial to com
position. -
