My dear Sister
I shall certainly appear very foolish for having
wrote in such a pompous stile about nothing,
I declare I am quite vex’d that I cant
make good my offer in assisting you according
to my Wishes, and I actually speak the truth
when I tell you that what I have sent
is all I can muster up, pray throw on my
Cloake when you go to Bed because you may
be hot with dancing, what do you mean
by talking of being poorly and out of Spirits;
I charge you not to think of your Indispo=
=ition, but both be chearful, and look so –
As for poor Me I have realy been in
Bed all Day, for I have got a most terrible
Cold, God bless you, for your Letter has
won my Heart, adieu I am sincerely yours
I did but receive your letter this forenoon
it has been in Craven, and I don’t know where

Elizabeth Hare to Ann Hare, undated

She feels foolish for writing in such a pompous manner, and apologising for the things that she has sent as they are all that she could muster, advising her to throw on a cloak before going to bed because she will be hot from dancing, asking for more information about Ann's indisposition, Elizabeth has been in bed all day but Ann's letter has won her heart
