speak to Doctor butler, about it, and he disir’d me not to say wan word to them, till he spoak first to them, which I obey his lordship, and when he ask’d them about it, they deni’d it, all the chiefs in the convent she never spoak, to as they say it, was only to some of the young wans, when his lordship propos’d to them, never to take any I had receiv’d, and I shou’d not take take any from them, without their consent, as it wou’d give scandale that they shou’d take persons, on small fortunes that was resolv’d to be of our society they readily comply’d with his request, and I hope they will keep up to it: its a good sign of our futer success, & that we shou’d meet with cross’s in the beginning: all your sister here join me in our sencere love to you and sister Ann. and believe me to be with the most sencere esteem. Dr madam your most afftn friend & humble servant Nano Nagle
