To his Stepmother.
Boodle's, Nov. 29th, 1774.
Dear Madam,
Our journey was successful and agreeable. Mrs. P. arrived in town perfectly well, and, I believe, writes to you by this post. This morning I took my seat, and found it in every respect an easy one. Poor Clarke is extremely ill, and I fear there is very great if not immediate danger. His present physician is Dr. Addington, with whom I am very much pleased. As to Bath, it would be impossible to transport him.
I am, Dear Madam, Most truly yours, E. Gibbon.
