Title	Note to Eleanor Anne Porden from "Moth", responding to her request as "Stella" not to say he loved her
Date	[early 19th cent]
Description	Asking her as Stella whether she thinks him "a complimentary correspondent"; she finds fault with him for saying he loves her, so he will not offend again, but he would not say it if were not true; he does not like pofessions anymore than she does; his love is greatest when she is ill, absent or unhappy; she thanks for remembering him on the 6th; wishing her many happy years. Thanks for her father's kind wishes. He expects her every day, being sure she will call when she goes to her sister's cottage. He had a note from Mrs P. for Mrs F.; he tells her offer as being"le bas bleu above the ancle" for writing Greek when she knows he does not understand it; he asks how "Vardilla and her Mum" is.
