This is the second letter I have writ to
my Dearest Judy since I came to this place,
but cannot say I’ve been so good a correspondent
as I had an inclination, the two employm^ts Im
oblig’d daily to follow have spar’d me but
little time to pursue my pleasures the morning
I’m employed as an Hostler to thirty Horses
& the afternoon as Valet de Chambre to thirty
Boobies, this you must confess is a reasonable
excuse, but I wou’d fain know w^t excuse you
can frame for neglecting me as you have done,
cou’d you afford me but six lines in this long
fortnight? I am almost angry w^th you, I shou’d be
quite so, did not, I know not what, always plead
in your favour w^th me & make me believe it was
not through disregard this I know not what tells

[f.102v]

me that you are all mine y^t I am y^r Dreams your
wish y^r thought y^r Love y^r entire soul, & in short
tells me that all y^r sentiments relating to me are
so much like my own for you, that I find it is
necessary for me to forgive, but unless you mend and
make up for y^r late indolence I shall hearken no more
for this pleader of y^rs - When I shall see
you I know not, it depending entirely upon the
Reviews which as yet is not fixt adieu my only Joy
