Martin Madan to Judith Madan, 6 July 1727
Madan had hoped that the post would have brought news of Judith’s good health – her continued welfare is his greatest desire. He cannot even be sad about bad news he has received, because he has Judith in his life. They greatly miss Judith and wish for her company.
