B.Bishop G.Gordon

“Feb.February 2. 1770.
Your presents of X Cook-
ery
to Cousin PeggyPeggie &and the worthy old Gentle-
man
her Neighbour
, were delivered, &and the
latter
desires his Thanks to be returned
for the Present; &and I perceive, they have
Thoughts of giving it a new Dress, as
being a Composition preferable to any
Thing they have met with of the Kind.
My old Friend tells me, honest Peg-
gie
is perfectly well &and chearfulcheerful, &and
is returned to Town again; but not
a Word does he say of the Marriage.”
