I was sorry it was not in my
pow’r soon’r, to tell you how much I am oblig’d to you
for, not standing on ceremony with me, and being so good
as to write to me so often of leat, tho’ I cou’d not answer
your kind favors as punctualy as I wish’d to doe, I believe
youlle attribute my silence to the real cause which is want
of time: I can’t express the joy I had to hear of Miss
Kavanagh, resolution and that she had join’d you, it was what
you ambition’d this long time past, if wance we were fix’d
the object in view is so great, that I dare say many wou’d
follow your and her example, I had little reason when first I
thought of this foundation to expect the success it has already
had met, I must say every disappointment we have had, the
Almighty has being plais’d to make it turn out, to
our advantage; tho my impatience very often made not
submit to his divine will as I ought, I believe we are ob-
ligat’d to your worthy friend for this young lady determine
to come here, we are happy I think to have wan of they sisters
I am not surprize, at what you mention to me in regard
