Thursday Morn:
The contents of my Dear Friends Letter surprised me much
I read it over three or four times before I cou’d convince
myself that I was right: am determined from this time to
give up all thoughts of going to Chesterfield: therefore if
we shou’d be so Happy to meet; the surprise will be the
more agreeable. I am very sorry we have lost Jack, as his being
at home wou’d have been of consequence to us: there is
some consalation in thinking it might of been wors; had
he been order’d to America — I have not seen James yet
supose he his gone to Manchester, poor Mrs Shuttleworth
I pitty her much; it must be very distressing to have her
Sons took from her at this time; indeed I think Jack out
to have provided her with a companion. I am half in
mind to, scold you for suffering or encouraging a thought of
my ever deceiving you, if I ever prove unfaithfull to you
I am a stranger to myself: and will then give you
leave to say their is no truth in Woman
[new page]
I As {^thought} we my Amiable {^Friend}, were united by the strongest ties
of Friendship: suppress all disponding thoughts for
the future: and what ever confidence you repose in
me, I will indavour to deserve: your {^privatist}privattest thoughts
will be as safe as, in your own Brest _ have a deal
more to say but writing is so painful to me
Mrs Dixon got me some Osters last Week I thought
they did me a deal of good I was so much better
on Saturday I unfortunately got cold, and my Cough
was so bad that on Tusday Mr Holland was sent
for to Bleed me I hope I am know a little better
I have got another troublesome complaint -
{^I suppose} its a boil on my Bum: if not am afraid it
is something Worse; I have the greatest difficulty in
sitting down. As its uncertain when I shall have
the happyness to see you; must beg to be indulged with
a Letter {^as} often as you can make it convenient, as it
is one of my greatest pleasures now.
I am my Dear Mrs Hares, ever
faithfull and Sincere Friend

Mary Moore to Ann Hare, cNov c1780
Mary Moore's cough and cold continue, now accompanied by the identification of what she hopes is a boil on her 'Bum' which is causing considerable pain. Oysters have made her feel better and she has been bled by a doctor. She insists on the strong ties of friendship that bind her and Ann, and reassures Ann that she can confide in her. Mary commiserates with their mutual friend, Christiana Shuttleworth, who is without her sons.
