BATH, October 28, 1769.
MADAM:Your kind anxiety for my health and life is more than, in my opinion, they are both worth; without the former the latter is a burden; and, indeed, I am very weary of it.I think I have got some benefit by drinking these waters, and by bathing, for my old stiff, rheumatic limbs; for, I believe, I could now outcrawl a snail, or perhaps even a tortoise.
I hope the boys are well.Phil, I dare say, has been in some scrapes; but he will get triumphantly out of them, by dint of strength and resolution.I am, with great truth and esteem, your most faithful, humble servant,
CHESTERFIELD.
