My Dearest Judy
I this minute rec.d y:rs wherein you acquaint
me of poor little Martin’s Indisposition, I am pleas’d
to understand the severity of his Distemper is over,
his continuing to look pale, is but a natural after
so great a disorder, therefore hope the fear & concern
you express, proceed more from Love, than Reason.
Thou dos’t me great Justice in flying to me in
affliction, if thou thinks’t xxxx a sharer wth thee
can soften or alleviate thy Concern I cou’d wish to
be the author of all thy Joys, & the sufferer of all thy
Griefs.
I hourly employ my self in looking at the
Weather cock ‘till now I never wish’d for a north
East Wind, wch if Mr xxx Aeolus woud but favr me
wth for two Days, I shou’d own the speedy, Joy I recd in
seeing Dearest Judy to his Great Bounty & favour,
designing as soon as his Majesty has got to London, to
steal from hence & make you a Visit.

[f.83v]

My Dearest Life! Thou has’t lately committed a
very great fault, for wch I must reprimand you, the
Brevity of yr Letters is the crime I chide you for, pray
make me amends for the future
My Duty & Love attend all wth you, I wish I
cou’d find out an Honest Witch that wou’d lend me her
Colt staff, I’d soon add one to yr {?Member}
I am my own Dear Judy’s sincerely & Entirely
M. Madan
