My love affair is kindled up afresh. She has made use of
all my friends whom she could get at to assure me of
her constancy & perseverance. She had even appointed
a time to meet me in her Uncle's garden: but unluckily
I could not get the news till it was too late, and the
family is now returned to Town for the winter, the sooner
on account of an indisposition of ther Uncle.

She referred me to a tree in the garden on which
I found written. I will give you the very words.
" Nothing will but death put an end to my love."
" Expect all from love and constancy."
" I live but for you and will never change"
" You can pass this way between 3 & 4 after dinner."

I am then now as you imagine in no small anxiety whether I shall
be able to obtain a meeting in town.

The Empress continues to enquire how the affair goes on and is
acquainted with the last part of the romance. some say that
she is disposed to give me employment near at hand, for the purpose
of favouring my match.

I have been of late over head & ears in troubles of the sentimental
kind: besides what I must have of my own I am confident of
complicated ones of other people's.

Perhaps when I am settled here Mr Clark may yet be disposed
to come out.
