I represented, in the most pathetic terms, the disquietudes which, from the nature of her connexion, might possibly intrude on her domestic retreat. I then raised to her view fortitude under distress; cheerfullness, life, and gayety, in the midst of affliction. I hope you will forgive me, my dear little friend, if I produced you to give life to the image. The instance, she owned, was applicable.
Let each of the children write me what they do. You may certainly find some opportunity. Adieu. Chester, May, 1785.

How could I write to you How divine your residence? Never again harbour, for a moment, a surmise that derogates from my sincerity. My health is nearly established. I have not enough to despise the blessing, but enough to relish every enjoyment of life.
