APPENDIX Nl. 



Friday, \5th January 1767. 



My dear George, — The weather is so excessive bad 

 that I do not know when to expect you, particularly as I 

 know you are a miserable traveller. I went as far as 

 Woburn in my way to Lord Spencer's, but I found so 

 much snow, and such roads, that I returned. I met Mrs. 

 Pitt and Meynel at the inn at Woburn, and I went back 

 with them to Dunstable that night, and came here the 

 next morning. 



Lord Lome took his seat to-day in the House of Lords, 

 and Lord Northington is given over with the gout in his 

 head and stomach. People are gathering together as fast 

 as snow and bad roads will let them. Everybody wishes 

 to see you again, and I am sure no one so much as myself, 

 comme de raison, for I am sure you love me more than any- 

 body else does. There is but one thing that I depend 

 upon in this world, which is that you and I shall always 

 love another as long as we remain in it. 



Farewell ! my dear George ; I am going to the Zam- 

 parini. Nous avons houdi un peu pour deux jours, but we 

 shall make it up. This is an unlucky passion ; I wish I 

 had never seen her. She is the prettiest creature in the 

 world, but the most complete coquette that ever existed. 

 It is her trade, and she knows it very well. I had taken 

 the old lodgings for the Eena, but I shall put them off. 

 It is always best to let women have their own way. — Yours 

 most affectionately, 



M. AND R.
