LETTER XXIV.

AFTER expressing my attachment, it is represented that your amber-scented letter arrived; and rendered the flame of my affection and extacy more violent: I hope it will be extinguished by the sweet water of a visit. Until the time of obtaining a meeting I expect that you will bestow tranquillity on my distracted soul with the effusions of your musk-like pen. In these few words having said enough, why should I trouble you farther?
