I have seen a man whom I won't name, who tells me, if this bill passes, hte lower house will be obligd to return to their ancient vassalage with respect to the Lords. I confess naturally it is my interest it should be soe but without a jest, I have too great obligation to the gentlemen concernd to be insensible for them in this affair. I laugh'd heartily that you could not read one of my letters, the Prince said to me, You write like a cat, & then would have poor Mrs. Clayton conjure. I shall have the pleasure of seeing your necklace to morrow. I beg when you can, ring in Sr. Joseph's ears, the words, Property, Justice, & the Laws. You will think me a little wild, but when I speak to You by letter all my spirits assemble you need not return into my heart you are allways there most tenderly, Caroline.
