I wish I cod send you some News from heare in
Exchange for some I hope to flatter myself with ye
hopes of receiving from you at Bath — but nothing is
is talk'd of here at present as yeDeath of
three great Ladies who have as it were by Agreemt
tip't of the Stage together within four-&twenty
hours of one another all in the Bloom of Fourscore
M.rs Wallop (mother to the Earl of Portsmouth) The Countess of
Granville (Mother to Lord Carteret) and the old Duchess
of Marbro, for one or other of w.ch almost the
whole Court will go into Mourning — to Day all
the world having been running to see the Ceremony
of Installation of the New Knights of the Bath who
it seems have acquir'd to perfection the Name of
the Knights by giving to great Entertaint
suspects upon ths occasion — I want
to hear how our ffrench Acquaintance
upon the Parade goes on with her Gallant,
What Airs what Attitudes must she be in —
O Cara! Cara! what Serenading! Concerting!
in a Morning! What Dancing! Gallanting at Nights:
when now the dull Cits are away, inelegant +
tasteless of pleasures so refined!
