I wish I cod send you some News from heare in
Exchange for some I hope to flatter myself with ye
hopes of receiving from you at Bath — but nothing
is talk'd of here at present as ye Death of
three great Ladies who have as it were by Agreemt
tip't of the Stage together within four-&&twenty
hours of one another all in ye Bloom of Fourscore
Mrs Wallop (mother to ye Earl of Portsmouth) The Countess of
Granville (Mother to Lord Carteret) and yd old Duchess
of Marbro, for one or other of w.ch almost ye
whole Court will go into Mourning — to Day all
ye world having been running to see ye Ceremony
of Installation of ye New Knights of ye Bath who
it seems have acquir'd to perfection ye Name of
ye Knights by giving to Entertaint
suspects upon ys occasio — I want
to hear questionable readinghow our ffrench Acquaintance
upon ye Parade goes on with her Gallant,
What Airs what Attitudes must she be in —
O Cara! Cara! what Serenading! Concerting!
in a Morning! What Dancing! Gallanting! at Nights:
when now the dull Cits are away, inelegant +
tasteless of pleasures so refined!
