Dear Miss Heatley,
About a Month since I took the Liberty
of writing you a Letter, wherin I declared my sentiments, in
Regard to you; I have been waiting with great Anxiety in hopes
of a favorable answer, but as yet, am so unfortunate as not to have
been honor’d with a few Lines, nor perhaps so much as thought on;
However I yet hope (If you are not already engaged) to have the pleasure
of hearing from you by the first opportunity; and with that view
have enclosed a Frank directed to J. Langston. At the same time
if you enclose a Letter for Miss Lancaster or any other friend
they will come free and I will deliver them with pleasure
I was very sorry to hear of your late accident and sincerely hope
you are perfectly recovered.
M^rs Lancaster is at present very Ill, for whom I am very sorry
as she is a Worthy Woman and much my friend. Miss Lancaster
Informed me, that in one of your Letters to her, you had rec’d
some Music from me, at which you was very much surprized,
but if you will please to remember when I had the pleasure
of being at the Play with you, I promis’d to send some songs
and as a Man of my Word, should have been highly blameable
had I broke it, and especially with you.
Have copied three songs which are reckoned favorites, and enclose
[new page]
them for your amusement and shall be happy if they meet with
your Approbation.
My dear Nancy, excuse the Liberty in writing this freely
and you’ll much oblige –
Your Sincere Friend, and
Faithful Lover
