Dr. Sr.
I fully hoped to have seen you e’re now, but tho I was in town two days & half, I could find no Evening; and am now unwilling to be there, till all the Bussle of the Wedding is over. In the meantime, I hope you’l secure Mrs Blount, by insuring Roberts life the moment he comes to town, if it were but for 2 or 3 months, or less, (if the mony be not actually pd. sooner.) I’ve sent the Last Assurance, in case it can be any direction to the Next. [letter deleted] I employ these few days in putting the last hand to my Essay, & I will then immediately print it. I meditate a fine edition of the whole, which I will soon have the pleasure to see you in your Library, with an Inscription of the Love the author bears you sincerely. Dr Sir I am
Always yours.
A. Pope
I am told that Miss Fortescue is perfectly well (I hope truly) | |
