Weden noon:[16th January 1788]
Clarinda,
Your letter found me writing to you—I read yours two or three
times by way of welcome: by and by, I shall do it more justice.—
Friday evening, about eight, expect me—If I can’t walk all the way,
I’ll take a chair to Nicolson’s square, or so; and walk the rest—You
talk of vanity; in mercy remember me, when you praise my letter-
writing talents so extravagantly—Inured to flattery as I have been
for some time past, I am not proof against the applauses of one
whom I love dearer, and whose judgement I esteem more, than I do
all the world beside—I forget the chairman waits—God bless you!
Remember
Sylvander
