I received my dear Sisters Letter yesterday
Forenoon, and think with you, that the inclosed
shews some {?Lenicy}, but you know better
than I do, how far the Writer may be
trusted; the Pen often expresses more
kindness than the Tounge, and many
People can write more testingly than
they can speak, or act; don’t think my
dear Sister that I mean to harden your
Heart, I do not form a single to the
wish towards either of you, that is not
consistent with a candid, humane, and ingenuous
mind. My Atachment to you, draws
from me an unreserved Opinion concerning
your Affairs, for I would {^think} on your
difficulties, talk to you, and do any thing
to make you happy; but my dear, are
we seriously to regard the Caprice, the
magotty dislikes of an unreasonable fancy,
or of an unsettled mind? Don’t be angry
now; for was I with you, actually I should
but laugh at your woeful Visage
Miss Elliott Farewell to thee

I know nothing of Miss Wheatcrofts Sale, I was not
at it, what a parcel of stories (Miss Elliott) have you
trumpt up. My love to Miss Margaret,
and to Miss Kitty

Return the spare paper, it woud
have spoild the look of my Letter
if I had torn it off, besides I like
to send things handsomely out of my hands
