have heard of my father's choice, & from the best authority: for
such is in this case that of a Son-in-law, who is but too often the last person
to do it justice to his mother-in-law. I began to be acquainted with her
shortly after my own Mother's death: as soon, or I believe, a little
sooner than my father: for some years there has been the strictest
intimacy between the two families: she always had my esteem in the
highest degree: & it cost me little to improve that esteem into
respect, when the voice of duty required it of me. since their marriage
she has ever behaved to me & my Brother to say all speak in a one word, in the
same manner, (making an allowance for the difference of ages between
them & me), as to her own Children, whom she tenderly loves. they form
together a little Triumvirate, in which, very differently from the
2 great Cabals that go by for whom <add>distinguished by</add> that name , there reigns an the most perfect harmony.
For some time I had seen the necessity of having a place wherein to pursue
my studies apart from the interruptions of a family, & sollicited my father
to provide me with my Chambers in some Inn of Court: & upon his marriage
he complied: & I am now settled by his bounty in a neat Chambers apartment in
the Middle Temple. prettily furnished, & in a pleasant situation Pardon my dwelling so long on the affairs of our family
which from the kind concern you have ever shewn for it's welfare,
I thought would not be entirely uninteresting. As the time may come & may I be permitted to
when you may be disposed to favour me with a line, tho' I will express how great would be my thankfulness for the satisfaction now & then
not it however great the was to be, + of hearing from your self of your <add>health & Mrs Rays. that you may not want</add> at the expence
the means of doing it, if you should ever be disposed to favour me so far, tho' I would not urge it.+
