I must write a few lines to thank my ever dear daughter for her last most affectionate letter, and to assure her of the great pleasure she has imparted to her sister Lovick by her and my Astley's delightful attentions to her suffering child, and the hopes with which he inspires her of restoration to health and cure; may these be perfected, and the dear child prove a real and permanent blessing! ^[2]
