I.
MADAM,
YOu were pleas'd to desire, that, since we cannot converse Personally, we should converse by Letters, so as if we were speaking to each other, discoursing our Opinions, discover∣ing our Designs, asking and giving each other Advice, also telling the several Accidents, and several Imployments of our home-affairs, and what visits we receive, or entertainments we make, and whom we visit, and how we are entertaind, what discourses we have in our gossiping-meetings, and what reports we hear of publick affairs, and of particular Per∣sons, and the like; so that our Letters may present our personal meetings and asso∣ciatings. Truly, Madam, I take so much de∣light in your wise, witty, and virtuous Con∣versation, as I could not pass my life more plea∣sing
