LETTER CXXXIX.
TO J---- S----, ESQ.
June 19, 1780.
DEAR SIR,
I AM sorry to hear by brother O---- that Mrs. S---- yet continues but poorly--may she be soon perfectly well--and health attend you both! We remain pretty quiet--the military are so judiciously placed, that in fact the whole town (in despight of its magnitude) is fairly overawed and commanded by them. His M----y went this day to the house--and gave them the very best speech, in my opinion, of his whole life: I have the pleasure to inclose it.--If I err in judgement, I know you more the true candid friend, than the severe critic--and that you will smile at the mistake of the head, and do justice to the heart, of
Your ever obliged,
