The dear testimonial of your friendship reachd Bristol about the time when the last offices were done to my lost angel at the Cathedral & was brought to me hither just now; Where I had fled to My Wadworth relations a few Hours before the Ceremony. I cannot express the State of my Mind or health, I know not what either of them are. But I think that I mean at present to steal thro London very soon & come to you at Cambridge, tho I fear it is about the time you are going to Town. I have business there with Sidney College.
