Sept. 29, 10 o'clock
Did you chuse me to expose my ignorance ? If so , I flatter myself you are a little taken in , for I think John and I figure in the rural way . To Miss Rivers , Clarges Street . Silleri , Sept. 29 , 10 o'clock . O to be sure ! we are vastly to be pitied : no beaux at all with the general ; only about six to one ; a very pretty proportion , and what I hope always to see . We , the ladies I mean , drink chocolate with the general to-morrow , and he gives us a ball on Thursday ; you would not know Quebec again ; nothing but smiling faces now ; all so gay as never was , the sweetest country in the world ; never expect to see me in England again ; one is really somebody here : I have been asked to dance by only twenty-seven .
