M[ary] Moore to Ann Hare, 12 November 1780

Miss Moore is suffering from a cough, pain in her side and pain when sitting down. A doctor has been to bleed her. Having seen Ann recently, she is concerned about Ann's health, and wonders if Ann's bad cold might remove the only friend Moore has to confide in. Moore is having a new outfit made, possibly for her 21st birthday.
