July 24, eleven o'clock
Your faithful Emily Montague . Surely it will not be long before Rivers arrives ; you , my dear Bell , will judge what must be my anxiety till that moment . To Captain Fermor , at Silleri . Dover , July 24 , eleven o'clock . I am arrived , my dear friend , after a passage agreable in itself ; but which my fears for Emily made infinitely anxious and painful : every wind that blew , I trembled for her ; I formed to myself ideal dangers on her account , which reason had not power to dissipate . We had a very tumultuous head-sea a great part of the voyage , though the wind was fair ; a certain sign there had been stormy weather , with a contrary wind . I fancied my Emily exposed to those storms ; there is no expressing what I suffered from this circumstance .
