will be perhaps a principal object of our occupations.
Either I we must contrive for me to get something at home,
or you must stay with me till we can manage for you
to be more at your ease at your return.
If you are acquainted with the Harris's and have an
opportunity of seeing speaking with Lady Harris alone
do assure her that my not having written to her
is not from my having lost any high degree of regard
& cetera ... in short say as many civil things as
possible to her from me which I would fain say myself
but dare not as I know my writing to her would
displease her husband.
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.
Miss Cozens also the eldest particularly knows a
great deal of me She & her sister live at Harris's.
I think I have pretty well got myself out of love again
and I now cant conceive that there are more than two women
in the whole Empire who could inspire me with any passion
beyond that of physical desire. These two are Mrs Sik: of
whom I have told you enough and a cousin of her's a Miss
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
sweetest disposition, between 16 & 17. rich, and pretty and of a character like
Mrs Sik: I see her seldom and 'tis better I should not see her.
