There you
shall be met by my brother and myself, who will next day
conduct you to this place, where, I am sure, you will find
yourself perfectly at your case in the midst of an agreeable
society. -- Dear Letty, I will take no refusal -- if you have any
friendship -- any humanity -- you will come. -- I desire that immediate
application may be made to your mamma; and that the moment her
permission is obtained, you will apprise
Your ever faithful,
LYDIA MELFORD
Oct. 14.
To Mrs JERMYN, at her house in Gloucester.
DEAR MADAM,
Though I was not so fortunate as to be favoured with an answer to
the letter with which I troubled you in the spring, I still
flatter myself that you retain some regard for me and my
concerns. I am sure the care and tenderness with which I was
treated, under your roof and tuition, demand the warmest returns
of gratitude and affection on my part, and these sentiments, I
hope, I shall cherish to my dying day -- At present, I think it my
duty to make you acquainted with the happy issue of that
indiscretion by which I incurred your displeasure. - Ah! madam, the
slighted Wilson is metamorphosed into George Dennison, only son
and heir of a gentleman, whose character is second to none in
England, as you may understand upon inquiry.
