I hope Miss Nairne has not set her heart upon
young Forbes. He is so intimate with a young Lady
who is just come to town from Ripley, & whom my
Mother visits, that she pronounces them engaged. Her
name is Stratton, her mother's name who is a widow
Brickenden. She may very likely be the same you had
in your eye when you mention'd Ripley to me.
My mother found him at Mrs Brickenden's lodgings
in Golden Square t'other morning quite en dèshabille,
and apparently upon the footing of the greatest intimacy.
He had been dancing with her over night.
I mention this that if you think it advisable
of which you alone can be judge you may communicate
it to the Nairne family, that they may not indulge
themselves in vain hopes. Miss S's fortune I understand
is very large - almost equal to his own
