Dear Madam

16 December 1778

what prevent’d my not answering your kind
favor, and assuring you the pleasure I had to hear
that you was better. I defer’d writing as I every post
expect’d a letter from my sister french, I did not
hear from her since her children, went only wance which
was the day after they went to Cambray, till this
moment, that I receiv’d a letter from her, and shall
mention to you every word, she writes to me
in regard of it; she says as she was quite a stranger
& ignorent of the instution, never having seen it any
where she was, in she could give Miss bellew no
great information about it, but that I had it in this
town. She is sure that you who manages the charitable
institution in Dublin she will be gover’d very much
