Martin Madan to Judith Madan, 2 September 1725
Martin is missing Judith during his time away. He reports his social and dining engagements, and his hopes to see her soon. He says that he is never happier than when he is in her arms, and is never truly blessed than when she is with him. He asks that she write to him soon and confirm that she still loves him.
