-mentioned or to her having taken something amiss in my
first? This latter apprehension I begged her to relieve me
from as soon as possible, telling her that if I did not hear
from her by Thursday (tomorrow) which is the soonest I
could have an answer to this 2d letter, I should believe
the worst: I should conclude I had offended past forgiveness.
Gods and Goddesses! what a miserable animal shall
I be if no letter comes tomorrow!

Saturday 2 o'clock
I am just setting out for Fetcham

I have just received a letter of which the following
is a Copy

Birchington Aug. 15th 1776.
Sir
Having been absent from Birchington
some time, your obliging favours did not come to hand
so soon as they otherwise wou'd. Many circumstances render
it quite uncertain when we shall leave this place,
and as we are engaged to make a visit, or two to
friends very distant from hence, can no way determine
as to the time of our return to Ripley. My Mother
joins with me in Compliments to you & I remain
Sir your humble Servant
Sarah Stratton
P.S. I hope the
Melon Buzley gave
you proved good.
