on this Hill since you departed, but have remained most dismally unpoetical – I long to hear how you have been entertained by the dear Longinus & the various Pictures & drawings of the sublime Artist, who has animated his Canvass So happily with yr poetical Spirit — Adieu! you will the more readily pardon this Laconis Scrawl, as it will find you restored to the arms of an affectionate Father, who will sufficiently engage you for some little Time in relating the History of yr Travels – do not fail to return Him our warmest Thanks for his kindness in sparing you from his side - accept the united good wishes of our little Circle & believe me

ever yr affectionate
