Mrs Hale -
Dear Madam -
I have just returned
from the North, & among a number of letters,
which had collected during my absence, I have
found yours - I regret extremely that I did
not receive it in time, & that you should
have necessarily thought me so remiss, in
not replying -
Is it too late now, to attend to your
request? - I will wait your reply,
& if it is not, it will give me great
pleasure, to comply with a desire, which
I should consider as complimentery [complimentary] -
Respectfully Yrs.
