AFTER amicable salutation it is represented to your generous soul that I was honored by perusing the longed for and friendly letter which you sent along with our esteemed Lord; and received great satisfaction. It is the rule of friendship to observe the same kind of attention, and not to forget me. Since the ardor of my affection is not to be expressed, I am therefore obliged to leave it to your own generous candor.
What should I say more?
