APPENDIX LI. 



Tuesday Night. 



My dear George, — I want a dozen pairs of silk 

 stockings for the Zamparini, of a very small size, and with 

 embroidered clocks. I should also be glad to have some 

 riband, a cap, or something or other for her of that sort. 

 She is but fifteen. You may advise with Lady Rochford, 

 who will choose something that will be fit for her, and 

 that she will like. 



Panton dined with me to-day with the Zamparini, and 

 I write this from her house, with such ink and pens that 

 it will not be easy to read it. Adieu ! my dear George ; 

 pray remember to bring any patterns that are new and 

 pretty. 



APPENDIX ML 



Monday Morning, I2th January 1767. 

 My dear George, — By the last post, and the post 

 before, I received several of your letters, by which I find 

 your setting out is now rather uncertain as to the day, 

 and that it may be still put ofi" if the Rena does not come. 

 The best way is to let her follow her own inclination, for 

 if she should dislike her situation, and be very much eimui, 

 which may possibly be the case, you will be blamed for 

 having persuaded her to come ; and though I shall certainly 

 be, as I told you, very glad to see her, it is impossible to 

 live both with her and the Zamparini, and that passion at 

 this time is not at all abated.
