countenance. He Has Hair Straight and
rather darker than yours; the Shape of
His Head very like Mine; His Eyes light
Gray, not much Eye Brow; the brow pro-
Jecting a coed deal, but not SO much as
is represented in the casts at London.
His Nose is large and prominent, but Has
not that sudden rise in the middle which
mine Has, and as His Busts Have, but
resembles William Campbell's more; His
complexion is uncommonly sallow, His
Beard very dark but not thickset, and
apparently not newly shaved. His teeth
are very fine, and when He Laughs
or smiles the expression Of His face is
quite charming. His Highth, I should
think, is as nearly Mine as possible; He
is certainly no taller. His limbs are
small but stright kneed and neatly made.
He was dressed in the consular coat,
which is crimson Velvet richly embrold-
cred, white Brooches and silk Stockings.
After having gone round the circle He
placed Himself between Cambaceras and
LIE Brun, and made bows Of dismissal,
on which we all retired.
