129[circled] Saturday moning

just read yours of last wednesday enclosing C.[underlined] Thoma's[underlined] - C.T. is a d-d ass and wilberforce a ditto rascal - But C.T. being more fool than knave must be treated accordingly - He can get some influence I know - not a very great deal though - I will make no promise to "unite interest" with him but of course will help him in his work - He will not collect any thing worth having I fancy -

Ill play him a little, - and if he will really study (which is doubtful) Ill of course as Ive said give him specimens etc -

Love to all Bob
