Miss , Smith , with whom I understand you are well acquainted _^ informs me that you were for some time in London . I am sorry
I was not there at that time , as it would have gratified me to have made your acquaintance . If you should ever return to England , I
flatter myself you will do me the pleasure and the justice to allow me an opportunity of offering my thanks to you in person , and
ofenjoying as much of your company as you could afford me . It is scarcely to be hoped that you should think of a visit to
Ireland . Foreigners , I fear , have a terrible idea of this country , and imagine that they would not live a day or sleep a night
