Telling her he "find[s] it necessary to relieve [him]self by writing" even though this is the fourth letter he has sent; asking her to reply to his letters: "For God's sake, Madam, let not my correspondence be like a Traffic with the Grave, from whence there is no Return"; hoping that the "Affairs of the Turks" may "put a stop to [her] farther Progress" [in her travels]; saying that he is "capable ... of following one" he loves "not only to Constantinople, but to those parts of India, where they tell us the Women best like the Ugliest fellows, as the most admirable productions of nature, and look upon Deformities as the Signatures of divine Favour."
