a gentle admonition with the best suggestion (of some excuse however insufficient. that said

to accuse myself of forwardness backwardness, as I had before in obtruding a that look upon you without
any previous introduction or apology: which however I had should have not done, could If I could with any conscience I could have detained the honest old Messenger any longer. I thought the truth is,
that to seeing you take some a pleasure in those pursuits as well as
myself I thought it might afford you some entertainment to pursue an account of that
