My dear Charlotte

We left Lesley-Castle on the 28th oflast Month, and arrived safely1 in London aftera Journey of seven Days; I had the pleasureof finding your Letter here waiting my Arrival,for which you have my grateful Thanks. Ah!my dear Freind I every day more regret the se::rene & tranquil Pleasures of the Castle we have left, in exchange for the uncertain & unequal Amusements of this vaute nted2 City. Not thatI will pretend to aſsert that these uncertainand unequal Amusements are in the least
