Letter to Mrs F--R , April 7 1797 'They are very happy too in their eldest son, who promises to be all that they prayed for; but he is rather delicate in his constitution. The circle is never complete. I think Swift and Co. or some of those old friends of ours, remark, that they have seldom met with superior powers on understanding joined to amiable qualities in a woman, but that there was a balance of bad health to be set on the opposite side of the account?'
