95. To his Stepmother.

January the 29th, 1771.

Dear Madam ,

At all events you may depend on seeing me next Sunday. I hope sooner, but I fear that it will be difficult to assure it. In the meantime I hope you will assure Mrs. Williams that business not pleasure keeps me in this wicked town.

I have received Lord Halifax’s Draught.

I am, dear Madam, Most truly yours, E. G.
