He complained to me of the Insult... the Gentleman in Question is a hot tempered Man, and dislikes the School... owing to various old Disputes about their fishing... It is a very awkward Situation for me...", small tear where opened affecting two words, folds, slightly browned. ⁂ "It is a very awkward Situation for me." - Thomas Arnold.
