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 y^r not writing to y^e imagining
I shou’d leave Bath ‘ere y^r 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 y^r own Madan – this
Morning I caught a Flie, but it proved a
Very insect, had you been true to y^r 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 y^r Self, you being ignorant
In nothing but if y^r own merit – yesterday
we had a marriage the parties are Lord Somer-
=ville & M^rs 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 y^m 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 y^rs
