worthy Lady, whose hand-writing you have
inclosedenclosed, but likewise of others, who are desi- 1959(1959)
rous to give the Name to Daughters when
they appear. The more particulars you
give of the delightful Subject, still yethe bet-
ter; for I am agreeably teazedteased with ma-
ny Questions from Sterling-Friends, as to
Looks, Person, Fortune, SirnameSurname, Age, &and
whether or not popish. I did not think of
writing at present, as I wrote by Mr B—

see the pressing Necessity of giving
you this Trouble; in which, give me peace
to say, I have a particular pleasure.
I hope, Pennant’s Tour is come to hand.”
