Letter to Miss Ourry June 4 1791 'My dear, you will excuse this digressive tribute to departed excellence. What havoc has been lately made in the little circle of those I loved!' "Yes, even here, amidst these secret shades/The simple scenes of unreproved delight/Affliction?s iron hand my breast invades/And death?s dread dart is ever in my sight?"'
