his letter she said from the Messenis Inn. She wished me
Moorsserc to find him out and tell him how necessary it was for
him to be back at the above Inn, and if not in town to write
after him to Chatham. I went immediately to the Inn, and there
I found my Gentleman. The wandr'd seemed to affect him at her anxiety, as he

at least so I understand him, that it was about that business
he was to meet Marian
.

was in town by the Thursday at 10 o'clockas he wrote her ever in the morning; tho'
he told me not till the Friday. This I find by a second letter
