Catherine Clive letter to Mrs. Racket, 1779 July 18

              Twickenham July 18th 1779

Dear Madame

    I ahve the highest opinion of your honor; and
good scence, and therefore venture to write you (
what I must beg may be a profound secret to ever
one but yourself) I will not suppose I flatter myself
in believing you have some regard for me; tho we are
so little used as to see each other but seldome; I shal come
to the purpose of my leterl uopn the death of our dear
friend I wrote to yo directly to enquire how Mrs.
Garrick did, for whom I felt all the compassion and
and affection that I have expresses; sometime afer
I wrote to Mrs. garrick; I was answered by Miss More
that Mrs. G was much obliged for my expressions of
kindness to her; but she would not wish to have me
come to twon on purpose, as it would be troublesome and
inconvenient; but as soon as she came to Hampton
she would let me know as she there could have an
opportunity of having more of my company- it is now
six months and I have never heard from her; tho I know 
she sees all her friends as usual
