My dear Sister
I have just now received your letter
from Mr Humberston, and taking it
to be wrote in the chit chat stile, was
on the point of letting him go before
I had opened it, [deleted] preferring (as
[deleted] greedy People do) to eat their Morsal
alone, but curiosity prevaild over my
first intention, and I am greatly
shockd and surprised at the [deleted] unpleasing
contents, this morning I put up
in a Box the few trifles I mentiond
to you on Sunday and had scrolld a
few Lines in my usual gay manner
of writing, but in what I said in this
same note respecting you my dear sister
I never was more serious, believe me
my heart constantly thinks the same tho
repeating it in this Letter would be
but troublesome to you, and an
unnecessary continuation of my sentime{^nts}
[new page]
for I believe our affection and sincerity
are reciprocal. I have beg’d Mr Humber{^ston}
to send you this, and Thoms Ball
shall call in the evening, don’t write
to me till you can do it conveniently
and with pleasure to your self
I am faithfully yours
Saturday Afternoon
