That She must be Sensible, if any body could ever be indiscreet enough to ask Her questions about what passed in the interior of the Family, it could be for no good but must be Idle Curiosity. When we come to the question about Her seeing Her Friends & going some Times to see them I told Her that You was much too good, as not to Consider that request, but upon the whole I would Advise Her, not to invite them to the House. I did therefore send this Morning for Colonel Garth & told Him not only what had passed, but desired Him to [[deletion]] speak with [[/deletion]] talk over with Her what had passed, [[addition]] Yesterday [[/addition]] & particularly to state to Her, that though She was under very great obligations both to Ladys Harrington & Harwood, that She should not think of inviting them or to go there Constantly. She is to remain in Town, & if Possible Colel Garth promises to make Her go to Her Aunts House. & now I think things are in a Fair way sufficiently Advanced for You to settle every thing at Yr return on Saturday
