LETTER XXXIII
MISS HOWE, TO MISS ARABELLA HARLOWETHURSDAY, JULY 20.
MISS HARLOWE,
I cannot help acquainting you (however it may be received, coming fromme) that your poor sister is dangerously ill, at the house of one Smith,who keeps a glover's and perfume shop, in King-street, Covent-garden.She knows not that I write. Some violent words, in the nature of animprecation, from her father, afflict her greatly in her weak state. Ipresume not to direct you what to do in this case. You are her sister.I therefore could not help writing to you, not only for her sake, but foryour own. I am, Madam,
Your humble servant,ANNA HOWE.
