Summary
SIR,
You are desired to send no more of your elaborate Epistles to Miss Knollys. You are quite mistaken in the Lady. She knows herself, and by your Letter she knows you, so well, that she sends it back, that you may find some other Person to send it to, whose Sentiments and Understanding are better proportion’d to your own. I am, Sir, &c.
If the Letters of the young Fellow deserve less Severity, and are such as have not their Foundation in Romance and Bombast; but yet the Lady thinks not proper to encourage his Address, this Form may serve:
