Many thanks to you my dear for your few obliging Lines;
I am sorry to hear Kitty looks so Ill, don’t you think country
Air might be of service to her, but I am sensible you will
take every likely method to forward her returning health;
I give you many thanks for the Night Caps, and Shoe Roses;
I think they are very pritty M^r Cundell the other Day
shew’d me some of the like shaps. I want your Opinion
respecting a {^fine} white tammy Gown, would it be ugly or pritty
think you, if you say it will look neat (and not ugly)
I will have One, but I am not for working it.

I have left off learning the Harpsicord, M^r Humberston could
not (or would not) attend me in a Morning, but always came at
three o’Clock, and I really found it impracticable so soon after
Dinner, to apply with that Diligenes and Attention which is necessary
for a Scholar; this Inconvenience oblig’d me to give it up, as
he was so ungenteel as to refuse making the Alteration I requested
of him.
[new page]
if ever you have an Opportunity in conversation with
M^r Humberston to read to him what I have wrote, I
should be glad you would do it, for I would not have
him think me so much wanting in Discernment, as to look
on his refusal in any other than an ungenteel light
Ever yours

for a Scholar; this Inconvenience obliged me to give it up, as
he was so ungenteel as to refuse making the Alteration I requested
of him.
