Chapter CLII: Letter CL: To J---- S----, Esq

Friday, Oct 13, 1780.

DEAR SIR,

I SHOULD esteem myself too happy, were I at this moment certain that Mrs. S---- were as much better as I find myself;--but when I consider the professional skill, as well as the interest Dr. N---- has in the welfare of you and yours, I sit down satisfied, in full hope that Mrs. S---- is at this moment better--much better--and, as one spirit animates you both, you are better too. May health diffuse itself throughout thy house! and gladden all around it! I am better, my dear Sir.--Tell my good Mrs. S----, I shall live to see her, and to thank her too most cordially in my child’s name: for my part, your liberality in constant flow has tired me out with thank-ye’s. Adieu, dear Sir.--I never left a place with so much regret as you made me leave B---- with;--nor ever met with the whole family of the Charities, but at thy house.--Mrs. Sancho joins me in acknowledgements to self, good Mrs. S----, and Dr. N--f--d.

We are, dear Sir,
Yours gratefully,

A. I. SANCHO.
