New Hall March 16 1772
D^r Sister
You may lay aside your kind fears on account of any particular connection which
you or the rest of my Friends may think there is subsisting betwixt Cousin S and myself
for I did on Tuesday the 10 inst: give him the Dismission which you recommend to me
as a proper One; and we parted good Friends, but I can tell you he will in a short time
pay his Address to a very pritty young Lady, who I have heard say will be a ten
thousand pound Fortune; he himself in formed me of this his intention and I dare say
that he has by this time acquainted his Friends with my determination – what I
have told you is very much the truth; and I wont pay myself so bad a compliment as to
suppose you do not believe me;
I have not walk’d to Sheffield since I dined with you, our Assembley is next
Thursday, but I do not expect to see you there; as your Situation requires great
care, I hope you will excuse me cautioning you on that head, I received a
London Letter yesterday, which says my Sister Williams is very poorly.
Brother Jack is in Town, but purposes leaving it soon; last Friday we dined
at Ravensfield and found M^r and M^rs Oborns pretty well, the latter has had
the Rheumatism, my love to Brother from your affectionate Sister
