If you remember any queernesses, set them all to the right account.⁠—Of the pianoforte so much talked of, I feel it only necessary to say, that its being ordered was absolutely unknown to Miss F⁠⸺, who would never have allowed me to send it, had any choice been given her.⁠—The delicacy of her mind throughout the whole engagement, my dear madam, is much beyond my power of doing justice to. You will soon, I earnestly hope, know her thoroughly yourself.⁠—No description can describe her. She must tell you herself what she is⁠—yet not by word, for never was there a human creature who would so designedly suppress her own merit.⁠—Since I began this letter, which will be longer than I foresaw, I have heard from her.⁠—She gives a good account of her own health; but as she never complains, I dare not depend. I want to have your opinion of her looks. I know you will soon call on her; she is living in dread of the visit. Perhaps it is paid already. Let me hear from you without delay; I am impatient for a thousand particulars. Remember how few minutes I was at Randalls, and in how bewildered, how mad a state: and I am not much better yet; still insane either from happiness or misery.
