L.Lady G.Gask

Feb.February 25. 1768.
We are very glad
to know yethe fair Lady is in health. I think
it need not be doubted but all her FrdsFriends
would be glad to have her nearer ymthem,
&and above all out of ytthat Country, that is
so detestable to all that wish her
well. It is hard if no Bodynobody lets
her know so much. When you write
yethe good B----[isho]p, return yethe most af-
fte
affectionate
&and respectfullrespectful comptscompliments to him
fmfrom all here. Long may he be pre-
serv’d
preserved
for Blessing to all who
have yethe honour of his acquaintceacquaintance.
