No. 21.
Cohansie May 14. 1774.
To Laura.
I am to leave home next
Mondy Morning----You the same
Day but in the afternoon: We both
go the same Road, & to the same
Place----Both to Philadelphia----
You in the Stage for Conveniency.
----I on horse-back to be in Town
by Teusday on Business----Cruel,
unpitying Destiny----! The pro-
per Name of my Life is Disappoint-
-ment----No, I recal that.
You have made me happy.
You may expect that I shall meet
you over the Ferry at Mr. Cooper's,
Teusday Evening, if I can possibly
be dismiss'd; if not, shall I see you
