Windsor July 2nd Mon, 1838

I dedicate the following sheets to whatever
attracts my attention either by event, acc-
ident or observation. Such as men and manners
[??] and literature, seening, pholosophy [??].
The 28th, where a crcumstance happened which I
shall not forget soon. A man whose position in
society is that of a gentleman without being
one himself, would to me to my face I cede
in aeeordanance with my principles, self defence
Though I might have been lustfifed in [??] [??]
still, I waited for the first - [??] and the mothers
his tongue I should have guess [??] my cause. He in-
dulged in the privelege of thee vulgar by abusing
me. See I could do consistently with self defence
was to exprep my opinion of him in a veiw and
emphasis that must have cut and heart.

When I take a retrospectere view of the past in comparison
with the present, I am individually offected. My [??]
[??] it would seem is not so flattering now as [??]
last year. The WIndsor so [early] has a demoralising, degra-
ding and lulling influence, I can not a ware that this
influence is on me best it has had no good influence eece-
me How to spot me out with the place. I expect to leave
this place soon. There is no abiding affection with me, I
carry us four recollections, but disgust and [??]
have [encounted] more printions by deer here thaw [??]
[??]. The first month of Summer is gone - frogs and
long breaths and innumerable other creatures told [??]
night [votez]. This summer as of unfantile tenses, the memory
is a sweet meloncholy.
