My dear Sister
I have had for this week past a compla{^int}
in my teeth, We took a ride yesterday morning
to Sheffield but twas so late when we set
off to go that we could only reach Mrs
{?Linfitts}, well, I declare I have not
yet wrote to Sister Williams, for I really {?dont}
know how to form a subject of excuse
but I know you would tell me the sooner
I set about it the better – have sent you
the Gloves which are too big for me,
but do you remember that you are
to give me your shoe {?roses}? Miss
Bridges fit on my Gown yesterday, but
I now want something to wear on a
Sunday, for I think my new Gown will
be too handsome to huddle under a
Clocke when it rains, besides, the
wheels of M^rs {?Fisks} Chairs are very
impertinently forward in dirtying our Close
where we get out, I’m sure they have
[new page]
sadly abused my white negligee, Miss
Haynes has a long time had a Cap
of mine if any of its materials will
be serviceable to Kitty she is quite
welcome to them you are I
[illeg] her off with my cast off trumpery
but you know my dear sister you
and I are one, and you are at all
times heartily welcome to any thing I
have, and the oftner you make use of
this privilege, the more you will show your
Love and Kindness for me, please
send my Cloke if ‘tis done, and
{?call} any time when I favour {^(or honour)} you
with a Commission, I should be very
glad to share the Accompt sent with
my things, for driving the payment
is very inconvenient to me, because it
throws my Accompts wrong, in which
I have begun to be very regular.
Respects, Love, and Compts pray give where
expressed except my truest Love to yourself
