 In order to be called to the bar, it is necessary to leave for England so as to reach there in time for keeping the November term. If you start in October or September, you can return in the July of your third year's stay in England. By starting in any other month you can return in that month of your third year's stay in England, which is previous to the month you started in for England. Except for the saving of two months by starting in October, it has been shown in a pervious chapter that March is the best month to start in for England. For three years' stay in England we have, in the previous chapter, calculated the expenses of board and lodging in London, which amount to 4 per month. So 150 may be allowed for board and lodging in England during the three years' stay in England. A list of clothes, too has been given in previous chapter. The clothes contained [in the list] in that chapter would be quite sufficient at least for the first year, though by a judicious use no more may be required for two years. However, a further list of clothes is appended below. These may be bought as required. But more should in no case be required. According to one's fancy changes may be made. The sum to be expended in clothing should not be exceeded. s d 3 pairs of trousers 1 16 0 1 jacket suit (vest & jacket) 2 00 3 white shirts 0 60 2 woollen shirts 0 16 0 2 woollen undervests or merino 0 11 0 4 cotton undervests 0 80 2 woollen drawers 0 13 0 6 pairs of woollen socks 0 12 0 7 20 12 pairs of merino or cotton socks 0 90 12 cotton handkerchiefs 0 20 2 felt hats 0 70 6 neckties 0 30 1 slippers 0 20 4 pairs of boots and shoes 1 12 0 1 pair of gloves 0 30 10 0 0  sd
