Cousin PegPeggie has been
some time at Pisa, but whether she has left that
place now, I know not; but she was well, qnwhen
I heard last. I don’t wish Mr Maitland to
accept the Invitation you speak of. I think
^him much better where he is, to be at a Call.
I hope the worthy Family of Gask were
all well, when you heard of them last.
Pray, let us be respectfully remembredremembered
to them, when you write next.”
