<A HANMER>
<T LETTER>
<E LONDON 1742>
<P 11>
((A LETTER FROM LADY HANMER TO
SIR THOMAS.
SIR,))
<L 4>
THO' I THOUGHT THAT ALL COMMERCE OR
CORRESPONDENCE WAS FOR EVER AT AN END
BETWEEN US, YET I FIND MYSELF UNDER THE NE-+
CESSITY / OF ONCE MORE WRITING TO YOU; NOT TO
REMONSTRATE WITH YOU UPON ANY THING THAT IS
PAST, NOR TO EMBARRASS YOU WITH QUESTIONS TO
WHICH I KNOW YOU COULD GIVE NO ANSWERS;
FOR I HAVE NOT BEEN AT ALL AFFECTED BY OUR SEPA-+
RATION, / OR ANY APPEARANCES IN THE CIRCUM-+
STANCES / OF IT, EXCEPTING IN LOSING THE SOCIETY OF
SOME OF YOUR RELATIONS WHOM I TRULY LOVED,
AND BY WHOM, IF I DO NOT GROSSLY FLATTER MY-+
SELF, / I WAS A LITTLE BELOVED; BUT YOU SAY, THAT
YOUR SISTER ONLY WAS TO BLAME IN THAT INJUNC-+
TION, / AND THAT YOU WAS INNOCENT. I HAVE,
AND DESIRE TO HAVE SO LITTLE INTERCOURSE WITH THE
WORLD, THAT I HAD RATHER SUFFER THE INJURIES IT
HAS DONE ME, GREAT AS THEY ARE, THAN DO MYSELF
JUSTICE AT THE EXPENCE OF RECALLING SO MELAN-+
CHOLY / A TRAIN OF THOUGHTS, AS MUST . . .
