 Description: Will you believe me, Celia, when I tell you, I wish I was at Bologne again; that I am dissatisfied and unhappy. You are surprised. It is nevertheless certainly true. We formed erroneous opinions of the world; we thought it a paradise compared to the solemnity and gloom of our convent. Trust me, my dear, I have as yet found nothing, in this gay, busy world, half so pleasing, as that sweet retirement. But I forget that this is my first letter, and that you naturally wish to know every incident which has happened since our separation. This innocent curiosity shall be gratified, and to begin: Looking over some papers which were lately in possession of my son, I found some letters which I think proper to return to you; and am very sorry if any thing has passed between you that may occasion you future uneasiness. I am obliged to you for the very generous sentiments expressed in those letters, towards my whole family, and beg leave to inform you, that your kind wishes, respecting my son's happiness, are amply fulfilled, as he was yesterday married to a very amiable woman, possessing a fortune of twenty thousand pounds.
