My Dearest Life
I has the pleasure of yr last wrote just as you was going to set out for Kilhamack, indeed My Dearest I can’t but say I grudged the Ladies yr company to Ardkinlas [sic], as it kept you so much longer from your expedition to Kintire [sic], and I’m afraid when you are there you’ll find things to keep you longer than you intend, so that my Dearest Life I dont expect to see you for long enough, the children I bless God are all very well; Miss Nanny Hamilton is here just now, & longs much for your return; I doubt my Dear your frequent absence’s [sic] from me will make it quite easy & familiar to you to be away, for tho you write me otherwise, you know letters don’t signify as some people often say things in that way they don’t mean; I fancy we shall have Sir James & Lady Hellen here tomorrow, for they are now at Mr Smollets; we have had two very bad days here, yesterday & to day, so Im afraid the weather is broke; My dr Lady Jane & Mr Courtenay was to go for Doublin [sic] about this time, and Im vastly afraid these high winds may overtake them in their passage, & confirm a fear I have long had that I shall never see her more; I have wrote to Miss Kerr about settling my little Jenny in the Country, for I will never risk her in Town again; Archie Im really afraid is born without any natural affection, as he is the only Child I ever saw that seem’d to carry a dislike to their Mother, I assure you it both vexes and angers me that one come of one should have a disposition so opposite to my own. but when I take him home I hope to see better things of him - all here are well, & I am Dearest ever yours unalterably GC
