scnted her sarvis to me. He told her I sent him, and you had writt twoe or thre letters to me about it. Soe Ellison, Hall, and I thinck that you should write immedyetly to my Lady and another enclosed to the young one, and not to lett it get wynd. I am possetivly sure it will doe if you will goe one with it, and yet noe creeture hear knows it but Hall and Ellison ; for I shall dispair if any of Peter's famely know it, not but he and his wife are both to good to hender it, but she has many reletions to my knolledg would leeve noe stoan, as the saying is, unturned to hender it. You know this Lady Brownloe has five daughters, the eldest marryed to Lord Exetor, the second to Lord Gilford, the third is going but not yet marryed, but al things conclewded one with Lord Sher- wood, whoe I hear has noe very great estate but they say the Earl of Exetor lovs drincking and soe dus this Lord Sherwood, and that he has made the match up. This is what Hall tells me. Peter told me he was to be marryed to this lady, for your sister Wentworth is very great with Lord Sherwood's mother and sister. He nor Lord Gilford are what I lyke. Lord Gilford loocks not at all lyke quallety but a little ugly man. I thinck Lord Sherwood is proper and tall, but loocks heavy and dull. As much as I see of them, the youngest will be envyed by all her sisters, if it be her happy fate to gett you. Elleson sess Mrs. Reevsis mother is dead and that she has undenyable twenty fower thousand pound, and he thought you had lyked her. Lady Gilford livs over against your sister Arundell ; I thinck her very prety, but I know the youngist is thought by all the pretyist of them all. Dear soul, loos noe time, but write, and if you would att the same time indite one for me, I may inclose yours and giv it ether to Elleson or Hall to carry ; it will not be proper for me to carry it, because he ask leev for me to wait of her and she refewsed it, and I am soe dasht to a stranger that I shall spoyle the caus quite. God derect you and prosper you, and make you in this and in al things throughout happy, to the great comforte of, Dearist, dear creeture
Your moste infenit affectionate Mother.
