how I came by my lights. Read the
enclosed letter, as I have told thee, I have given my fellow, in
apprehension of such an elopement; and that will tell thee all, and what
I may reasonably expect from the rascal's diligence and management, if he
wishes ever to see my face again.

I received it about half an hour ago, just as I was going to lie down in
my clothes, and it has made me so much alive, that, midnight as it is, I
have sent for a Blunt's chariot, to attend me here by day peep, with my
usual coachman, if possible; and knowing not what else to do with myself,
I sat down, and, in the joy of my heart, have not only written thus far,
but have concluded upon the measures I shall take when admitted to her
presence: for well am I aware of the difficulties I shall have to contend
with from her perverseness.

HONNERED SIR,

This is to sertifie your Honner, as how I am heer at Hamestet, where I
have found out my lady to be in logins at one Mrs. Moore's, near upon
Hamestet-Hethe. And I have so ordered matters, that her ladyship cannot
stur but I must have notice of her goins and comins. As I knowed I durst
not look into your Honner's fase, if I had not found out my lady, thoff
she was gone off the prems's in a quarter of an hour, as a man may say;
so I knowed you would be glad at hart to know I have found her out: and
so I send thiss Petur Patrick, who is to have 5 shillings, it being now
near 12 of the clock at nite; for he would not stur without a hearty
drink too besides: and I was willing all shulde be snug likeways at the
logins before I sent.

I have munny of youre Honner's; but I thought as how, if the man was
payed by me beforend, he mought play trix; so left that to your Honner.

My lady knows nothing of my being hereaway. But I thoute it best not to
leve the plase, because she has taken the logins but for a fue nites.

If your Honner come to the Upper Flax, I will be in site all the day
about the tapp-house or the Hethe. I have borrowed another cote, instead
of your Honner's liferie, and a blacke wigg; so cannot be knoen by my
lady, iff as howe she shuld see me: and have made as if I had the tooth-
ake; so with my hancriffe at my mothe, the teth which your Honner was
pleased to bett out with your Honner's fyste, and my dam'd wide mothe, as
your Honner notifys it to be, cannot be knoen to be mine.

The two inner letters I had from my lady, before she went off the prems's.
One was to be left at Mr. Wi
