Your laconic Epistle
of Easter-Eve, truly MULTUM IN PAR-
VO, has rejoiced the Hearts of Several &and
sundry Well-Wishers &and Friends. All Glory
be to God for all his Mercies. But, is there
no Picture, Drawing or print of the amiable
Lady like to appear? It is much longed for
by more than One.

I will endeavour to make a Return somewhat
in kind. Know then, that MacDoual of Castle-
semple, Member of Parliament, his eldest
Son is now at his Travels. He wrote lately
from Rome to his Mother in the following
Manner. “There is a Scots Family here,
“not only in high Estimation, but likewise
“greatly revered, nay, almost adored, by all
“those that approach or see them. I have
“heard much of the Gentleman’s Beauty. I
“shall not infest upon this; but I can declare,
“never did I behold so much Majesty in any
“Countenance as in his. As for his Lady, never
“did I see a Composition of Flesh &and Blood like
“her or near to her.” The Mother makes no
Secret of the Letter.
