three years ago when I had a fancy for Bath,nothing could induce him to have a Gouty symptom.

I have received yours, & have engagedthe Lodgings in consequence. — I am pleased tofind that my Letter had so much effect on you,& that De Courcy is certainly your own. — Let me hear from you as soon as you arrive, & in par::ticular tell me what you mean to do with Man::waring. — It is impoſsible to say when I shall beable to see you. My confinement must be great. — It is such an abominable trick, to be ill here, in::stead of at Bath, that I can scarcely commandmyself at all. – At Bath, his old Aunts would have nursed him, but here it all falls uponme — & he bears^^pain with such patience that I havenot the common excuse for losing my temper.

Y^rs .. Ever, Alicia.
