Ripon, Sunday, P. M. (Sept. 18th).
Billy teases me more than he does you. I generally
resolve to ride some other horse, and do ride one till the real time
comes, and the other horse behaves so that I have to mount Billy in a hurry.
This has happened three times now. The gray and Berold are perfectly
unmanageable now, unless one can give them entire attention. I'm glad you
mentioned Billy, for I don't want you to imagine for a moment that I was running
him into danger inconsiderately. I have bothered a good deal about it, but have
done by him just as I should wish Will to do by Berold in like case.
