"I never saw any person so full of acknowledgment as Mrs. Barber is for Your Ladyship's continued favors to her, nor have I known any person of a more humble and gratefull spirit than her, or who knows better how to distinguish the Persons by whom she is favored. But I will not honor myself so far, or dishonor you so much, as to think I can add the least weight to your own naturall goodness and generosity.
"You must, as occasion serves, Present my humble respects to My Lord and Lady Carteret, and my Lady Dysert, and to Sr Robert Worsley.
"I am, and shall be ever, with the truest respect, esteem, and gratitude,
"Madam,
"Your Ladyship's most obedient
and most humble Servant,
"JONATH. SWIFT.
"Dublin, Nov. 4re, 1732.
"I know not where my old friend Harry Worsley is, but I am his most humble servant."
