B.Bishop G.Gordon May 17. 1766.

The Lady, our
Friend, for whose Health &and Wel-
fare
, I well know, you are not
less solicitous than myself (bless-
ed
be God) was lately very well,
&and behaves to Admiration. I am
proud in being honoured with
more than one Message from Her
since her late Movements.
B.Bishop G.Gordon AugtAugust 19. 1766. I have yethe Plea-
sure
to tell you, that your worthy &and
amiable Friend
was not many Hours
in Town before he did me the Ho-
nour
to call upon me, &cet cetera.
Mr. O.Oliphant &and I, had a long tête á tête
Discourse at out first Interview,
when you may be sure your Flame
was not forgot, who, I could assure
him, was well, &and still constant in
strongly adhering to her Professi-
ons
, whatever unhappy Jealousies
might be entertained by some from
certain untoward Circumstances in
her present Situation: But Time &and
Patience (I doubt not) will clear
all up to your Satisfaction &and en-
tire
Content.
