But I entreat you to recollect, that Scarborough is much nearer to you than Hastings.— On looking into the Map I find a good road from Derby to Lincoln, which you may travel in postchaises; & from Lincoln I apprehend you will readily find most commodious Coaches to Scarborough;- a Scene highly beautiful in itself, & particularly convenient for bathing!
If you approve this plan, that I most tenderly recommend to you, I will most willingly take on myself all that Expence of your Chaises, backwards & forwards, between Derby & Lincoln; by which Measure, I apprehend, this project must prove considerably cheaper to you than an Expedition to Hastings. Your coming into Sussex this year must unavoidably prove a source of Inquietude and distress to my Mind; & if you persist in that Resolution, I shall consider it as an open Act of Hostility & defiance.
Yet even than, my dear Eliza, I shall harbour no Resentment against you – I shall never act as your Ennemy, [sic], for, in Truth, I cannot intentionally be so; but you will force me, much against my Will, to cease corresponding with you as a Friend, & I shall bitterly lament, that you have not that Esteem & regard for me, which my Heart & Conscience assure me I have deserved from you; & which, (if you had them) would assuredly induce you not to persist in a Measure, that I tell you (in the most tender Manner) you cannot pursue, without wounding my peace of Mind to such a degree, as to render me unfit for all profitable Study. — ah! my dear Eliza! why should you tear from us both the only Enjoyment, that our Singular destiny can allow us to derive from each other?–I mean the constant Intercourse
