George Street March 28 th: 1788

M rs: Copley presents Compliments to M rs: Adams: would have called uppon her this Morning, but that she thinks it must
at this time be inconvenient to M rs: Adams: will be very
happy if it is consistant with M rs: Adams’s engagements to
have the pleasure of her company at Tea in George street before she leaves London: (but
least she should not have that pleasure) takes leave to say that her best wishes ever
attend M rs: Adams: that her Voyage may be prosperous, and
that it may be succeeded by the very great pleasure of Meeting her Family, and Friends
in health, that all happiness may long attend M rs: Adams and
her Family, and that it will be a great gatifycation to M rs: C: to hear of the welfare of those for whom she shall retain the highest esteem; and to
whom she feels herself much obliged for their Friendship and politeness—

M r: & Miss C: desire to untite in respectful
compliments to M r: & M rs: Adams— Miss C: wishes that the Artificial Roses where more worthy M rs: Adams’s acceptance: she delayed doing them hopeing to have
had some natural ones to have copyed which would have Made them more perfect—

M rs: Copley has taken the liberty to send with this a
Letter for her Friend M rs: Rogers, and a parcel from M r: Bromfield—
