LETTER XVIII

MR. LOVELACE, TO JOHN BELFORD, ESQ.

KING'S ARMS, PALL-MALL, THURSDAY, TWO O'CLOCK.

Several billets passed between us before I went out, by the

internuncioship of Dorcas: for which reason mine are superscribed by her

married name.--She would not open her door to receive them; lest I should

be near it, I suppose: so Dorcas was forced to put them under the door

(after copying them for thee); and thence to take the answers. Read

them, if thou wilt, at this place.
