B.Bishop G.Gordon

^London “NovrNovember 14. 1769.
This same Scribble is
not to go without the Satisfaction of telling
you, that I have very lately heard of your
Cousin Peggie’s Welfare, but nothing posi-
tive
relating to her Marriage yet; &and more-
over
, that I have luckily had an opportunity
of transmitting to her by a safe Hand the
two X elegant Pieces of Cookery, you had pro-
cured
for her, which no doubt, will be ac-
ceptable
