Mary Stevenson Hewson to William Temple Franklin (unpublished)
Rochester Nov. 24. 1784

This comes of not keeping your appointment. I received your letter on sunday morning, and wrote an answer which a gentleman took to town to put in the penny post on monday. In that I informed you where I should be yesterday evening. We have looked for you all this morning, and enquired for you at every Town but in vain. Something I do suppose has prevented your setting out, and I cannot think of proceeding to Dover in this uncertainty. If you are ther I shall be sorry. If you have not yet left London write me a line by this night’s post directed to Mrs. Whiteheads No. 21 Rochester, where I shall remain till I here from you Yours

I write to Dover by a similar Conveyance Come to the Crown Inn, where all our things are, we are just by.
