In Miss Wrights Letter of last night
she tells {^me} doctor Young thought
Kitty something better which afforded
me much pleasure, again I
beg pardon for my incoherent
unfinished Letter of yester Day
but as I said ‘twas wrote in
haste and you my dear Sister
are all condescension {^in excusing} such faults &
many greater. Indeed I cannot
love you enough for the favourable
manner in which you received my
late Advice. Miss Wright also
says that my Brother is expected
[new page]
this Week O how must he be shock’d
when he hears of the great danger
Kitty has been in. I earnestly
hope he will shew his affection
for ye both in a pleasing manner
if he does not I shall be most
grievously displeased – I really
expect he will huff me for not
writing to him – Mrs {?Fell}
greatly commiserates your present
distressful situation last night
we talk’d of Kitty till we were
both low spirited. I flatter my
self with the hopes of a good account
to night and am your affectionate
sister and constant faithful
friend E Hare
