do assure her that my not having written to her

If Miss Gorman is with them I wish much
you could be acquainted with her She knows me well
and could tell you everything about me.

and I now cant conceive that there are more than two women
in the whole Empire who could inspire me with any passion

Glebow. daughter of whose father is a General in chief and whose mother who is now
dead was sister to Prince Dashkeff the father. She is of the

Mrs Sik: I see her seldom and 'tis better I should not see her.
