in London ever had
heard of sic a thing; so we gave the porshoot up in despare. Howsomever,
one of Andrew's acquaintance--a decent lad, who is only son to a saddler
in a been way, that keeps his own carriage, and his son a coryikel,
happent to call, and the Doctor told him what ill socsess we had in our
serch for the gardner's bell; upon which he sought a sight of your
yepissle, and read it as a thing that was just wonderful for its
whorsogroffie; and then he sayid, that looking at the prinsipol of your
spilling, he thought we should reed, "a gardner's bill, or a list of all
flooring plants"; whilk being no doot your intent, I have proqurt the
same, and it is included heerin. But, Miss Mally, I would advize you to
be more exac in your inditing, that no sic torbolashon may hippen on a
future okashon.

What I hav to say for the present is, that you will, by a smak, get a
bocks of kumoddities, whilk you will destraboot as derekit on every on of
them, and you will before have resievit by the post-offis, an account of
what has been don. I need say no forther at this time, knowin your
discreshon and prooduns, septs that our Rachel and Captain Sabor will, if
it pleese the Lord, be off to Parish, by way of Bryton, as man and wife,
the morn's morning. What her father the Doctor gives for tocher, what is
settlt on her for jontor, I will tell you all aboot when we meet; for
it's our dishire noo to lose no tim in retorning to the manse, this being
the last of our diplomaticals in London, where we have found the Argents
a most discrit family, payin to the last farding the Cornal's legacy, and
most seevil, and well bred to us.

As I am naterally gretly okypt with this matteromoneal afair, you cannot
expect ony news; but the queen is going on with a dreadful rat, by which
the pesents hav falen more than a whole entirr pesent. I wish our fonds
were well oot of them, and in yird and stane, which is a constansie. But
what is to become of the poor donsie woman, no one can expound. Some
think she will be pot in the Toor of London, and her head chappit off;
others think she will raise sic a stramash, that she will send the whole
government into the air, like peelings of ingons, by a gunpoother plot.
But it's my opinion, and I have weighed the matter well in my
understanding, that she will hav to fight with sword in hand, be she ill,
or be she good. How els can she hop to get the better of more than two
hundred lords, as the Doctor,
