The parcel is received — It is late — I must be short
I do not understand what Mrs D. says about Wilson's promising
to deliver her letters into her hands. They were left in
mine by consent of all parties. In mine they are: and since
in mine she does not think them safe I return them to
you in whose hands I hope she will think them safer.
But since she peremptorily refuses to deliver up Wilson's, he
on his part as peremptorily enjoins you not to part with hers
untill she does.
How can she pretend to fancy herself charged with dishonesty for
spending her own money? I am sick of such eternal altercations,
and resolved to wash my hands of them. We did it is
true, charge her with bragging, a habit which since she finds a
comfort in, let her keep.
Your letter is likewise received.
Wednesday Jan:y 26. 1777
The packet of Mrs D.'s letters will be sent by the Coach
tomorrow.
As to her charge of shewing a letter of her's to Mrs
W. I know not what she means.
