Widow of his son, he desired I would accept from his Hands of four
Hundred a year. I graciously promised that I would, but could not

and amiable Laura.

I took up my Residence in a Romantic Village in the Highlands
of Scotland where I have ever since continued, and where I can

solitude, my unceasing Lamentations for the Death of my Father, my
Mother, my Husband and my Freind.
