has contributed so much to the felicity of my dear Mrs Jay,
and my ardent wishes for the long continuance of the Happiness you enjoy.1 The fan and gloves I received, and beg
my thanks. It was no small mortification to me in not
having it in my power to accept of your kind invitation by
Cousin Kitty Livingston of being one of the Bridesmaids,
In town I own that I had flattered myself with the pleasing
expectation of being one of the number. Had it not been
for my Papa (who thought the weather too warm for
me to be in town) I should have reallized all those
pleasures of which I had formed such a delightful idea.
The being with my dear Mrs. Jay would have been my
principal inducement, and spending with her some hours
as agreeable as those I enjoyed at Elizabethtown. But
apropos—Mama and I were a little Jealous at your stopping twice at Collo- Cortlandts and not once at Philips-
borough, you being such a prodigious favorite. However,
we all hope soon to be favored with a visit from you and
Mr. Jay. Papa and Mama beg their compts: to you and
Mr. Jay with Congratulations.
Cousin Kitty Van Home has spent three weeks with me
and proposes staying a week longer. But, my dear Sally, do
not you intend to favor me with a letter. Remember you
are a long one in my debt, and that I cannot think of losing
my correspondent. It would not indeed be generous in
you in depriving me of so great an opportunity of improvement. If at Elizabethtown, please to give my love to
Cousin Livingstons, and to Cousin Susan and Kitty, and
believe me to be sincerely
Your truly affectionate Friend
Maria Eliza Philips.
Do not omit my Compts:
to Mr. Jay & congratulations.
