My Dearest Ju
You are now to know your Boy is perfectly well,
the Small Pox mostly dried away, & to morrow or next Day to
be purged, & in a fortnight may kiss you at Northill if you
please, how you’ll settle that matter wth your Sister I cannot
tell, but I think it is time to take it into consideration, cou’d
I have seen Ashley, I shou’d have known how He design’d to
steer his Course, but as affairs were it was impossible. I learn
by Mrs Butler He & Budget are to go out of Town this week
but to wt place she cou’d not tell, I hope to Scarborough if so
matters may be easily fixed. I go to morrow to Sr Wm Stanhope
but as He goes to Bretby the 18th I will be wth you on that Day
unless He changes his mind, if he shou’d, I shall stay 2 or 3 Days
longer wth him.
Mr Schutz was wth me this morning & told me that
Lady Archibald Hamilton kiss’d the Queens Hand last Sunday
after having kiss’d the P & Princess, wch settles my affair, there=
-fore, wn His Royal Highness sends for me, I shall be appointed

[f.143v]

in his own way. This {^wth my Boys recovery} enlivens me & had xxxx dispell’d
the Gloom of last week’s Horrours, which hung very heavily on
my mind. My ever Dear delight! I have no wish in Life but
what tends to your Happyness, all my Joys must be imperfect
unless you share them wth me & from the late Blessings we have
lately recd I trust Providence, has much Happiness in store
for us wch{^unparralelld} xxx Virtue wch doubtless cannot pass unrewarded.
Mrs Cowper was to visit my little man last Friday, she
complains much of an indisposition, but I think she looks as
well as I ever saw her. Mrs Butler intends visiting of you when
you send for Martin, the Poor woman has been very kind, &
given constant attendance, which I shall never forget.
I am sorry Ashley cannot satisfy my Request, how=
=ever I shall do wthout him, I have at last resolv’d to sell, {?oke}
tho’ wth a promise to my self to replace the first opportunity
adieu my Love, my blessing attends my little Dear Pen, & Jack
I hope they are perfectly recover’d. God keep you.
I am yrs Entirely
M Madan.
