dc.description.transcription	Now be a good dear girl, Hannah! And give these to Fanny--&Fanny will give that wh belongs to her sister, herself—and when I see you I’ll give you kiss—there’s for you! --but I have something else for you, which I am fabricating at a great rate, & that is my Journey, which shall make you cry as much as ever it made me laugh—or I’ll give up the Business of sentimental writing--& write to the Body --that is Hannah! What I am doing in writing to you--but you are a good Body, & that’s worth half a Score mean Souls Upon mine I am Yrs. L.Shandy
