My dear Sister
That I may not detain a letter more justly precious in yr sight than any that I can send as its Companion, I dispatch the inclosed, tho I have only a few Moments to add a hasty Line or two in the Frank that conveys it -
My best Thanks are still due to you for the pleasing & early Intelligence of yr safe arrival at the Mansion of the fair & hospitable Quaker, & for the charming verses composed on your Journey: what an Enchantress you are to convert every Postchaise you enter into the car of Apollo! - I believe verily you engaged all the Nine Nymphs of Parnassus to attend you, as we have not had even a Glimpse of one of them
