I heard with much pleasure of the just disposition of a part of Mr. Bangough’s [unclear] countless wealth in favour of his Nephew.
I am Gentlemen yours very sincerely
[Written on the recto of the letter in another hand] London Though we have not had the pleasure of writing to you for some time past, we beg you
to be ashured that it has afforded us the highest gratification to discover in the
several Letters, with which you have lately favoured us, such satisfactory proofs
of your having so well recovered all your former health & Spirits – and it is our
earnest prayer that you may long continue in the enjoyment of this first of earthly
blessings –
Mr. Strachan’s people are now gradually advancing with the new Edition of the Volumes
which you so kindly corrected for us; and we have so minutely explained to them your
wishes respecting the generous Preface & also that to the “Thoughts on the Manners
of the Great” that we confidently hope there will be no misconception of any kind
of the new Edition –
We now beg leave to say that we shall shortly have occasion to set them to work upon
a new Edition of the “Strictures on Female Education” in case you may wish to introduce
correction or alteration of any kind –
We are dear Madam –

Dear Madam,
Your most faithful Servants
