LETTER THE 2D

To H. Beverley Esqre

Dear Beverley

I arrived here last thursday and met with a hearty reception from my Father, Mother and Sisters. The latter are both fine Girls—particularly Maud, who I think would suit you as a Wife well enough. What say you to this? She will have two thousand Pounds and as much more as you can get. If you don't marry her you will mortally offend

George Hervey

LETTER THE 4TH

To Miss S. Hervey

Dear Sally

I have found a very convenient old hollow oak to put our Letters in; for you know we have long maintained a private Correspondence. It is about a mile from my House and seven from Yours. You may perhaps imagine that I might have made choice of a tree which would have divided the Distance more equally—I was sensible of this at the time, but as I considered that the walk would be of benefit to you in your weak and uncertain state of Health, I preferred it to one nearer your House, and am yr faithfull

Benjamin Bar

I write now to inform you that I did not stop at your house in my way to Bath last Monday.—. I have many things to inform you of, besides; but my Paper reminds me of concluding; and beleive me yours ever &c.
