My dearest cousin

You must let me thank you very gratefully for this new proof of a kindness which is too extravagant in its expression & which indeed required no other. The table is quite beautiful, & Flush is very jealous of it, hearing me say so—and it will be better than beautiful, since full of thoughts of you. [1]

Believe me

your affecte & grateful

EBB–
