LETTER XXXV.
New-Haven.
I write a line, at Mrs. Richman's
request, just to inform you, Eliza, that yesterday,
that lovely and beloved woman presented me
with a daughter. This event awakens new sensations
in my mind; and calls into exercise a
kind of affection which had before lain dormant.
I feel already the tenderness of a parent; while
imagination sondly traces the mother's likeness
in the infant form. Mrs. Richman expects to
receive your congratulations, in a letter by the
next post. She bids me tell you, moreover, that
she hopes soon to receive an invitation, and be
able to attend to the consummation you talk of.
Give Mrs. Richman's and my particular regards
to your excellent mother; and to the worthy Mr.
Boyer. With sentiments of esteem and friendship,
I am, &c.
