not a syllable, not a hint was dropped of anyDisagreement or Coolneſs between them. I askedher whether she had seen my Brother since hisarrival in Town — not as you may suppose withany doubt of the fact — but merely to see how shelooked. — She immediately answered without anyembarraſsment that he had been kind enoughto call on her on Monday, but she beleived hehad already returned home — which I was veryfar from crediting. —

Your kind invitation is accepted by us with pleasure, & on Thursday next, we & ourlittle ones will be with you. — Pray Heaven!Reginald may not be in Town again by thattime! —

I wish we could bring dear Frederica too,but I am sorry to add that her Mother's errand hither was to fetch her away; & miserable as itmade the poor Girl, it was impoſsible to detain her.
