Lichfield Oct 2d 1792
My dear H
By some perverse circumstance I have been disappointed of receiving your last letter for knowing your punctuality I am assured of your having written it.
The tempestuous weather (which was become irksome) broke up the party at Parkgate on a sudden, & I was induced therefore to quit my marine residence a week sooner than I had intended. I was also tempted by a kind & pressing invitation from Miss Seward to travel directly to Lichfield instead of calling at Buxton which I found it on many account better to keep till another year. I was tired of living in public & glad to exchange it for select society.

I arrived here on this day se’ennight & letters from M.rs Nicholas & M.rs Gladwin followed me hither on the following day. That yours therefore should have failed surprises me - but I hope to be made amends on this day se’ennight by good reports of both you & Tom which I will request you to direct to me in Derby - I return thither on Monday.
The Muse desires her love & hopes you received a letter from her since M.r Saville went to the sea. We shall not forget to drink dear Tom’s health on friday.
With love to him I am y.rs very sincerely
Eliza Hayley
