My [\TEAR\] [{Lord{]
   Of what elements can your Lordship be composed that neither pain nor my troublesome enquiries about that pain can disturb the harmony of your temper! I am rejoyced some of your enemys forces are fled but till all are dislodged one cannot be at ease about you. Thank God your Lordship took the opiate last night, & I hope your apozem this morning will do service. The opiates operate towards a perfect cure as well as give a temporary relief. I admire your charming spirits, & I hope they will communicate some joy to me when I see your Lordship at seven. I should be angry with any other person who could be so unconcerned when my Lord Bath is sick, but patience is the best anodyne, & I know you will get through your illness by its assistance. I cannot express my sense of your Lordships goodness in writing to me, but I fear it gave you trouble. Your mind seems to be set to the tune of the musick of the spheres, I cannot at present write a song that will go well to unjarring musick so (\Adieu\) ! Heaven bless you & give you health. I shall then be happy, I am always
