Give yourself no serious concern, sweetest Burney. All is well, and I
am too happy myself to make a friend otherwise; quiet your kind heart
immediately, and love my husband if you love his and your H. L. Piozzi.
N.B.--To this kind note, F. B. wrote the warmest and most
affectionate and heartfelt reply; but never received another
word! And here and thus stopped a correspondence of six
years of almost unequalled partiality, and fondness on her
side; and affection, gratitude, admiration, and sincerity
on that of 'F. B., who could only conjecture the cessation
to be caused by the resentment of Piozzi, when informed of
her constant opposition to the union.
