Plain
Normalized
Three times have I sent to the Post this
Day, but unsuccessfully, after this you can
Never upraid me for neglect, my Dearest
Judy I impute yr not writing to ye imagining
I shou’d leave Bath ‘ere yr Letter cou’d reach
Me, see how willing I am to flatter my self
I will never beleive you think any time last
In enquiring after yr own Madan – this
Morning I caught a Flie, but it proved a
Very insect, had you been true to yr Word
I shou’d have been happy, I had been in possession
Of my Dearest Judy – We are detain’d
Here till Tuesday morning for a Private Ball,
The diversion you may believe will not be great
To me, I am either grown very dull, or my taste
Very much refin’d, I think it is the Latter, you
Shall be Judge xxx
tho I think I should refer my self to the rest of the

[f.60]
World sooner than to yr Self, you being ignorant
In nothing but if yr own merit – yesterday
we had a marriage the parties are Lord Somer-
=ville & Mrs Rolf, as yet they don’t own it, but
These are strong Circumstances to believe it
As Lawyers, Parson, Church &c Adieu My Dearest
I have folded you up a Thousand Kisses be not
Profuse of ym for it will be an age till I see you
Love me as I deserve I shou’d say better adieu
Once more I am entirely yrs
M. Madan

Bath Sept 19th 1724
Make my Compliments.
