��March 12, 1706.
My dearist and best of children, — We want fower packitts, and I hope I shall have fower letters in them, for in your absenc nothing is soe welcom to me as your letters are. Lady Katthereen Grinvell is marryed to Mr. Bainton, soe poor Mrs. Jeferus must loock out a new sparke to keep her ; al people laughs at her, whoe sett up for witt and discretion, and thincks she has shewed nether in this choyce. Mr. Charls Arundell has got a munckey, he gott it on shipborde, and it is exactly lyke my Pug, only myne is very pert, and full of devertin tricks, and the other is soe kept under it dairs not ster but just as they bid it ; the eys of myne sparkles lyke twoe dyomons, and is perter then ever you see her, and fuller of tricks, but it must be when she has a mynd to it, not elc. Betty presents her duty to you ; I hear often from her and my neic, they are extreemly kynd to her. I wish she had a good husband, now is the best time for to gett her well offe, now she is in her pryme, I thinck her the hansomist of all her sisters. Indeed Mr. Arundell is an extreem kynde husband, as ever I see, to his power. He has a payr of the pretyist coach horsis I ever did see ; they ar very dark, almost lyke black, with whyte mains and long white tailse, and they goe brydling and prancin along, that al people from the highist to the lowist stairs after them. Severel has inquiered of the coachman whether his master will part with them. I wish you had six of them, I am sure you would be in lov with them, did you see them. My dear crceture, I will relees you this post, without saying any more then to asure you, noe pen can exspres how sencearly I am your moste infenit affectionate mother.
