thrice repeated in the compass of 5 days. Evil suggestion is my the
sole excuse. This original sinhas at the door of Ld L. The relapses are all I have to answer for theMiss
knows of neither V. and Miss Fox seem desirous of French news I shall send them
my Papers — may not mine accompany them? — Certainly —
I'll send them — Do so — and won't you write? I was
so much surprized and startled by the proposition that I should
not wonder if if to know that my countenance exhibited symptoms of
reluctance. - Yet how could I avoid so otherwise complying with it? And when

to follow head and ears. I forget what the Ladies were, (Ld H whose acquaintance
with them it if take data than mine could till ) who used
to fascinate men with their voice and make them drown themselves?

it over come will first falllight upon Ld L. so that the force of it will
be in some degree broken before it comes reaches<add>descends</add>down to me.
