Barking full as agreable in that respect, & that when you & I my Love, are settled there —
with those valuable Friends about us, (the pleasure of whose Company I shall depend upon
& hope you will engage for the remaining Part of the Summer) I flatter myself you will
not have occasion to think it will have cost you much happiness of your own to establish
and secure mine - as great a Gainer as I shall be in your Love & Esteem, I am not
