26 thursday , 28th june my dear julia , perhaps you will be gratified to know , that i have decided not to send for the french after all , as the reception of notes from both mrs. grayson and miss barr have persuaded me that , although bath is still very tedious , there may be far stupider places in england , which i would like even less ( and no doubt , if my mothers hopes for bath are not fulfilled , she will next find some way to make me visit one of them ) .
