Dear Sammy
As we had heard from you, nor seen you for so long a time,
we began to be afraid you were not well or that some accident had prevented your
coming up to town, but my brother met Mr Lownder in town t'other day, and Mr Gray
dined with us last Sunday sennight. who both said that you were very well. My
Papa did purpose coming down to Woolwich to spend a day there before he went out of
town, but having been engaged in some particular business relative to the Barracks in
propos'd to be built in the park, and preparing Petitions to the King in order to oppose them,
which are now presented, he has had his time so much taken up that he has laid that scheme
aside till the week after Whitsun Week when he will certainly certainly come; we go down
to Pyenest to morrow morning and shall stay the holidays in Essex. And when I return
shall be happy to assure you myself that I am
Your's
Cha:s Abbot.
Adieu. vale. χαιμε. Good by.
Queen Square Place
May 28.
P.S. Upon second thoughts there is no such great wonder
that you prefer Woolwich to Town, as I suppose
you are so much engaged with Missy Betsy that
as long as she continues there we shall have
no chance of seeing you with us. Remember
your engagement however to come up
once a year at Christmas.
