ye 22=d=
   I hope my Dear Sister got safe & well, and that Dear Lady Bab did not suffer more from her intention towards me; I will own that before I got home I repented I had not more vehemently press_d her to go with us to Sandleford, but her answer to that request seem_d so peremptory I could not insist, in which perhaps I was too generous, for after all as she was so far on her journey ye travelling evil was over, as to y=e= inconvenience of being ill from home it remaind, but all that my attentions c=d= have done to have palliated that sh=d= have been done. I designd to have wrote you a very long letter but was prevented by an accident very long it must have been if it had express'd a thousandth part of y=e= happiness I had in y=r= company or ye pain I had in parting with it. My best respects to Lady Bab & best wishes for her health & love to my amiable Miss Arnold. The post is going so can only say
   I am
   Ever most affect=ly= yours
   EM You will be glad to hear M=r= Montagu is much better than when you left him
