Summary
Thanking him for his translations of her hymns: "I wish I were mistress of the languages into which they are translated, if I were younger I should be inclined to try at the German, which many English ladies have of late applied themselves to. I am however not the less flattered by the honour done me & can make out enough to see that they are faithfully translated"; sending greetings to Coquerel's aunt, Helen Williams: "We have been obliged to her for much of information & entertainment, tho we no longer, in this country, enjoy her personal society."
