LETTER XXXI.

The Honourable GE0RGE M0LESW0RTH to RICHARD RISBY, Esq;

_Dover_.

Say not a word of it;--no, not for the world;--the body of Miss Powis isdrove on shore.--If the family choose to have her brought down, it maybe done some time hence.--I occasionally have order'd an undertaker to get a leadcoffin, and will take care to have her remains properly deposited.--Itwould be an act of cruelty at present to acquaint her friends with thiscircumstance.--I occasionally have neither leisure or spirits to tell you in whatmanner the body was found, and how I knew it to be miss Powis's.

The shore is fill'd with a multitude of people.--What sights will theygaze on to satisfy their curiosity!--a curiosity that makes humannature shrink.
