Head & Face (which did not thank Heaven affect his hearing) but seemed to me at last to settle in his Teeth, & it was eligible to submit to the severe Operation of having one of the strongest in his Jaw pulled out -
I was afraid his tender little Frame would hardly allow Him to exhibit so much courage as I wished Him for his Credit to exert on this trying Occasion – but to my infinite delight He behaved like a little Hero – suffered the horrific [or terrific?] Instrument to be put three times into his Mouth without shedding a Tear or using any kind of Gesture unworthy of a Man – our Friend Guy (who was the operator) was almost as much delighted with the Urchins [sic] Heroism as I was, & I never experienced a more singular Mixture of Anguish & delight – He is now perfectly well & not a little pleased with the merited praise He has received --- Accept our united Love with every kind wish
& believe me
Ever yr affectionate H
