“Epistemon is not well. Our pleasant excursion has ended sadly for one of us. You will guess I mean my sister. She got home very well (I was very ill on the journey), and continued so till Monday night, when her complaint came on, and she is now absent from home.
“I am glad to hear you are all well. I think I shall be mad if I take any more journeys with two experiences against it. I find all well here. Kind remembrances to Sarah; have just got her letter.
“H. Robinson
has been to Blenheim; he says you will be sorry to hear that we should not have
asked for the Titian Gallery there. One of
his friends knew of it, and asked to see it. It is never shown but to those who
inquire for it. The pictures are all Titians, Jupiters and Ledas, Mars and Venuses, &c, all naked pictures, which may be
a reason they don’t show it to females. But he says they are very fine;
and perhaps it is shown separately, to put another fee into the shower’s
pocket.
