re you I was a good deal affected
at parting with her. She is a sweet Girl; and told me at parting that
she was preposes'd with the notion we should never meet again. God
forbid! I can write no more, my Marcia, for I have got to pack up my
cloaths.

I believe I shall scrible a little more to-night, if they should bring
Flora home with them, if it is only to give you my opinion of her.

Well, my dear, they are come, and, as I expected, brought Flora with
them. She is very genteal, and wears monstrous Bustles. Her face is just
as it always was. You, my dearest, that posses a great deal of
Sencibility, would have supposed she would have been delighted to see
me--far from it, I assure you. She saluted me just as if I had been a
common acquaintance, and was not, I thought, at all glad to see me; but
I suppose it is fashionable to affect indifference. I hope, my dearest,
we shall always stear clear of such unnatural Fashions. She received
Nancy in the same manner; that dear Friend and myself have just
returned from a walk in the Garden--the last we shall take for some
time, I am afraid.

Dear Mrs. Pinkard sets off this morning, and Cousin Molly goes as far as
_Peccatone_ with her.

The arrival of Flora has prevented Nancy from going.

I have just taken a last farewell of my dear Mrs. Pinkard--did I say a
last farewell? I hope not. I should be unhappy did I think it a last
farewell.

Mr. W. and myself have defer'd setting off till the evening, and then we
go as far as _Blenheim_ to-night....
