My mother extremely became her character; and, when talking to Rivers, gave me the idea of the Roman Aurelia, whose virtues she has equalled.
He looked at her with a delight which rendered him a thousand times more dear to me: she is really one of the most pleasing women that ever existed.
I am called: we are just setting out for Burleigh, which I have not yet seen.
Adieu! Yours
Emily Rivers.
LETTER CCXX.224.
To Captain Fitzgerald.
Bellfield, Thursday, two o’clock.
We are returned: Colonel Willmott is charmed with Burleigh, and more in love with Emily than ever.
He is gone to his apartment, whither I shall follow him, and acquaint him with my marriage; he is exactly in the disposition I could wish.
He will, I am sure, pardon any offence of which his belle paisanne is the cause.
