[four or so lines have been cut away from this portion of the letter]
      me no joy as once I am
sometimes sullen, and will not even look at "Forget
me not". I endeavour to forget every thing except my
busineƒs. Thy remembrance sometimes brings to my
mind a train of thinking too painful for me.
Adieu my dearest, best love. Heaven bleƒs thee
with health and comfort, and preserve thy
full affection towards thy very own
