For I cannot help using the language of kindness & familiarity to ye Grandson of my ever loved and honour’d Friend, I think it a misfortune that I must lose much of your Company by not being at London which my Family Engagements render impracticable at this time of the Year—But I flatter myself you will not refuse me the honour of spending some time with us in our Country retirement, where we should beg You would consider Yourself as one of the Family—Mrs. Shipley & her Daughters desire their Compliments & I can assure You are not a little prepossess’d in your favour—The infinite Respect We all bear to Your good Grandfather will entitle You to the most cordial reception We can give—Give me leave to anticipate the regard I hope soon to feel for You and subscribe myself Your obedient & faithful humble servant
