My last letter contained too few Civilities but I meant a great deal
and tho’ I did not take notice of your better health yet I do assure
you ‘tis an agreeable addition to my small stock of worldy Enjoyment{^ts}
Have receiv’d your Letter with enclosed Purse, no Apology’s my
Dear for the lowness of your Pocket for you have not shewn
poverty in your pritty Present, indeed I could not have
imagined Buxton had afforded such Elegances.
Will you be so kind as to acquaint Miss Bridges
that I have not wrote to London for a Trimming
and further, shall be oblig’d to you to consult with
her about the choice of something for that
purpose, she mentioned a narrow Blond to which
I objected but if you think blond will look pritty
beg the favour of you to chuse one for a trimming
and to get me a pair of white gawse Cuffs and
a gawse Apron. I wish Kitty don’t make
heavy complaints to you, for I really got
quite the master of her, you cant think
(for the last two or three Days) when I was by
how good she was, and withal how glad she
seem’d when I was coming away for when
[new page]
I was gone she reckoned upon doing as
she pleased again; I’ll assure you she is
a little threatner, and in that point I don’t
want faith, for I’ll be bound for it, she’s
as good as her word in telling you all
that happened, for she repeatedly acquainted
us with a design of that sort; please,
(when you have the pleasure to receive her Home)
to present her Aunts Love to her, I
hope you have brought the promised cups
and saucers which we talk’d much about
having this afternoon an opportunity
of sending my Letter I will conclude
tho’ I did intend to have lenthen’d it
believe me, I am
very sincerely yours
