I have recieved my dear Madam! your obliging Letter of the 6th. Inst:1 and thank you for the Pleasure it has given me.—

Having often seen early Friendships fade and fall like vernal Flowers, I am particularly pleased to find that your friendly Disposition towards me, remains unchanged. The Remembrance of it has frequently excited agreable Recollections, and led me to regret, that in the Lapse of so many years, I have had so few Opportunities of manifesting the Esteem and Regard, with which I have constantly been, and still continue to be Dear Madam Your faithful Friend.
