Autograph letter : place not specified, to [Lady Mary Wortley Montagu], [1717] Feb. 3.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/672030798

Commenting on the "unquiet state" he is in following the news of her departure from Vienna; saying that his "letter is a piece of madness" because he doesn't know where to send it "or if it will ever reach [her] hands"; telling her he is "half afraid, & half willing" that she should know "how very much I was yours, how unfortunately well I knew you, and with what a miserable constancy I shall ever remember you"; reporting that her illness "frightens" him; commenting on her allusion to his "friendship" for her; hoping they will meet hereafter; asking her to give him the first possible news of her health and progress.
