To his Stepmother
ОглавлениеBrighthelmstone, August 24th, 1781.
Dear Madam,
Of all mortals I have the least right to complain of a friend's silence, but yours has been so long and so unnatural that I am seriously alarmed. If you can assure me by a line that it does not proceed from want of health or spirits, I shall be perfectly at ease. Notwithstanding our princely visitors (the Cumberlands) who are troublesome, I like the air and society so well that I shall certainly stay here at least till the end of September. Adieu.
I am, Dear Madam,
Ever yours,
E. G.
