This little Creature is full of the most lovly tewnes and all other kinds of musick. Nobody didnt know how humerous wind-instrymants was till he did it. He will get a trombown or a hoboy to talk just for all the world like a rettired curnel only funnier—it will make you ake with laughing. He writes the most holy tewnes too and makes you fancy you are soring about with other angels in the upper-boxes. (I wrote this wile goveness was out of the room—she would say it was awfull irevrent I exspect)
