Transcription	Dear Sir Bath March 2th 1774 Had I dreamt that it wd have afforded the least satisfaction to my good Friend that I would have poked my long neck & (?)atches Face into his doors, in the common how d'e do way, not all the Giardini's(?) on Earth should have prevented me; but I did not know that a first man, assured of the affection as well as admiration of all sorts and sizes, expected every common hack to interrupt Him in his precious money(?) I thought it enough that I spent an Evening with young Ranger and saw him dance like a Boy to the delight of a great Number of pretty Ladies - but to come to the real truth, (first damning those that told you I was in Town, which I'm sure was not any of the ships(?)
