DR. DARWIN. 145 



The ftill too much admired Mr. Snow 

 will have the goodnefs to pardon the 

 freedom of thefe expostulations, and ex- 

 cufe their imperfections . The morning, 

 O Snow ! had been devoted to this my 

 correfpondence with thee, but I was in- 

 terrupted in that employment by the vifit 

 of two females of our fpecies, who fed 

 my ill-ftarred paffion by praifing thy wit 

 and endowments, exemplified by thy ele- 

 gant letter, to which the delicacy of my 

 fentiments obliges me to fend fo inauf- 

 picious a reply. 



I am, dear Mr. Snow, 

 Your ever obliged, 



Po Felina.
