I thought to have delay’d giving you this
trouble till I could write from Colne: green but tis hard to
Resist inclination, & mine bids me thank you for to days
Remembrance; & tell you my Last thoughts at Leaving this
solitude, you have endear’d to me, are yours – y^e acc^t
you give me of y^r Journey gives me great Pain, dear dearest
Creature! Why are you Ever to feel a disagreeable moment, or
at Least me I do not share with you? – I am Equally
anxious with y^r self about y^e success of my Negociation, & you
may depend on y^e first notice in my power to give how it goes
on, if I did not think it would as much promote y^r
Happiness, as Gratifie my inclinations, I do faithfully assure y^o
I would never form a wish about it, but sure our Pleasures are
as United as our Hearts & Souls, & I cannot but hope this
Change of Life, will add all we want to compleat Happiness.

I have led a most melancholy Life, you Left me; of w^ch
I will say no more, as I am sure it can supply me with
nothing worth telling you
I heard this day from Chelsea, dear Martin, is perfectly well, &
I am so happy to Leave all Here So: My Little Pen was never
so Engaging, nor so pretty as now, I could not have thought y^e
apprehension of Living without Her, for a few weeks could have
given me so much Pain, you see I own all my folly to you, in
whose {^^Love} I hope to find a full indulgence for this weakness, & a
thousand others you have witness for, Dear Madan Adieu!
& believe whilst I have Life, I must be yours Entirely
