Mennes's motives seem as transparent as Sir W. Warren's, which Sam seemed not to question as much as did we all. I think Sam has had the impression there has been some bad blood between them.
Robert Gertz, you have an unwarranted wiretap across time and space, into a bedroom and to conversants that no longer exist. Do you also have Vane’s manuscript, the complete manuscipt, or did Sam'l secret it away?

Bradford, does San say that finds he's cold, or merely that he finds he's "fearful of cold", as he often has in the past??

Castile soap
Soap for the nights
(in the vomitorium)
The source I first posted naively cited Castilla as its place of origin; the Wikipedia article refutes that.

"Castle soap", i.e. castile soap
"Pure Castile soaps date back hundreds of years to a Spanish region called Castilla. Most soaps are made with animal fats but castile is made with olive oil which is a natural humectant. Humectants retain natural internal moisture by drawing it from the air."

Castile soap in a posset? Sounds disgusting.
