I hope has, by this time, reach’t Holliport. I cannot help repining
at my present confinem^ts as it must necessarily {^^place} you {^ⁱⁿ} under
a most disagreeable situation, my Dear Child! I very sensibly feel
your uneasiness, but hope a sudden change of Wind will soon
relieve you from all y^e inconvenience. I wish anything I cou’d
say d from this place cou’d sufficiently convince you of my tender
& sincere Love xxx, if feeling y^r cares {^^{desirous of}} contributing to
y^r Pleasures & being truly sensible of y^r merit are proofs of
affection, I do w^th the greatest sincerity confess they are my chief
{^^wish} nay only thoughts – I very much flatter’d my self w^th the hopes
of hearing from {^^you} & tho’ my stay here was uncertain yet you might
have trusted a few lines to Fortune, had they miscarried I am
sure xxx {^^{I should have been}} compence’d by the many kind & tender assurances of
Love y^r dear voice wou’d {^^have} utter’d when I had you in my arms, for you
might have depended on my return to you the moment it was in
my power. I hope our little Family continue well, kiss them for
