VISITS BRISTOL HOT WELL 75 



''I carried your letter to Kew, where it was read by- 

 Bishops, Priests, and Deacons. My uncle laughed heartily 

 at your Hectic Heat^ and my aunt said that half such a joke 

 was a serious Proposal, and we laughed beforehand at the 

 fright we suppose you in at reading this, by which you find 

 you have drawn yourself into a Praemunire. ... As to your 

 Rags and Chips, Heck totally disdains all sinister and 

 Canidian Use of the same ; and protests she trusts to no 

 Foreign Charms for your demolition" — 



a passage which, in itself, clearly disposes of the 

 statement, above noticed, that this lady was the 

 object of an unrequited attachment on the part 

 of her friend.
