Dear Papa

I arrived in good time at the inn on Tuesday morning
for I believe it was 3/4 of an Hour after I came before they sat
out: I believe I shall make you stare a little when you hear
of one of the passengers: they were one Miss Norreys of Newberry
, Mr Pointer that keeps an Inn there, and is intimately
acquainted with Mr Harris; and Mrs Vincent, the famous
singer at Vaux-hall; who was going to pay a visit to
her relations. she was pretty free in discovering herself, for she
did not long wait before she talked about Mrs Vincent as of herself
and Miss Brent; with whom she said she had had a quarrel;
for the Girl was so insufferably proud there was no such
thing as bearing her: however she owned, the Girl was good natured
enough: but at last they shook hands, and all was well again
At first I did not know what to make of her; for she intimated
that she was in a publick way of life which I understood at
first to be the Playhouse, but yet she talked of spending 3
Guineas in plays in one year and so I wondered how one that
belonged to the play-house could talk of spending any money
