1784-4-19 Lothbury No 26. Monday morning 19 April 1784

My Dear Sir

An ingagement for yesterday, brought me to town very late on Saturday evening. I had been pressed in an obliging manner to stay till the next morning, but I congratulated myself for having luckily withstood the civil importunities of my friends, as I anticipated by some hours the inexpressible satisfaction and comfort which your letter of the 14 instt gave me. So kind, so friendly, so moving, so artless a letter, dictated by the heart, coming from you to me, makes more than ample amends for full ten years trouble and uneasiness of mind. I am sure in the course of a very long life, I should never forget a single word of it.

I look upon it as a pledge that promises to me the continuation of what will soften the unavoidable misfortunes of this world, will increase greatly the enjoyments it may afford, and what I value more, will add dignity to me, not only in my own estimation, but in that of others.

Had it been a more early hour, had I not been afraid to disturb you, had I been sure you could give me a bed, I should have flyed directly to your chambers
