MARGARET NICHOLSON.
The following is the original, epistle of this famous lunatic to the matron of Bedlam; No other proof is necessary of her insanity:—
Madam,—I've recollected perhaps 'tis necessary to acquaint you upon what account I continue here yet, maim, after making you privy to my great concerns, madam I only wait for alteration of the globe which belongs to this house, maim and if the time is almost expired I wish to know it maim. Tho' I am not unhealthy, yet I am very weak, know maim therefore I hope it won't be long maim.
I am, madam, your most obedient,
Wednesday. M. NICHOLSON.
