Saturday.
My Dear Sir!
Your letter is manly & friendly, like yourself. I take your confidence as a high compliment, & I trust you consider’d my application in some such way. I must do the best I can; but we will never talk of so unpleasant a subject, about w[hic]h I thank you as much as if you c[oul]d have serv’d me. Your heart w[oul]d bleed for me, did you know my situation & how I have been us’d. The man I paint at the end of my Poem was (God knows!) an example of happiness, compar’d with me. But, never mind.
I will come & sit with you, & be apparently as merry as usual, any evening you send me word you are at leisure after so long absence; & I will always be,
My Dear Sir,
your grateful & affect[iona]te friend
H[erber]t Croft.
