Here is a full and true account of Stella’s new spelling:—{321d}

Plaguely, Plaguily.

Dineing, Dining.

Straingers, Strangers.

Chais, Chase.

Waist, Wast.

Houer, Hour.

Immagin, Imagine.

A bout, About.

Intellegence, Intelligence.

Merrit, Merit.

Aboundance, Abundance.

Secreet, Secret.

Phamphlets, Pamphlets.

Bussiness, Business.

Tell me truly, sirrah, how many of these are mistakes of the pen, and how

many are you to answer for as real ill spelling? There are but fourteen;

I said twenty by guess. You must not be angry, for I will have you spell

right, let the world go how it will. Though, after all, there is but a

mistake of one letter in any of these words. I allow you henceforth but

six false spellings in every letter you send me.
