How it mortifies me my dear Sam, that I can not
make one in your happy circle!- and what is more, how
it shames me to think of my having neglected thus long
to answer Mrs Davies's obliging invitation! That I
must forego too the only opportunity I may have till I don't
know when of "throwing myself at" my adorable Mrs
Wise's "feet"! well — I must bear the mortification as well
as I can, and like Sr Anthony Branville in the Discovery "defer that happiness to another opportunity".
However I have got her name, written in her
own fair hand: that is somthing. I shall not fail to consult
those who are learned in these matters, and to imprint
on it as many kisses as shall be deemed suitable to the occasion.

thoughts of him: you know we pretty fellows have a mortal

From scribbling — thats my excuse as well as grace
can to the Ladies: If they Moreover I am under the
Surgeons hands for my face; and am likely to have a
