| Disgrifiad | Sends her the enclosed (not included) that she may see by all steps how he has moved about Johnny. Upon receiving the first the writer wrote to Mr. Ellis and then received the second. In the meantime, Mr. Henry Jones being in town, thw writer discoursed with him and he has promised to entertain the boy and do him all the service he can. Knows not how she will send Johnny up, whether by coach to London and so by coach to Oxford, or else on horseback directly to Oxford. If she sends him by coach and light on some trusty friend to take care of him perhaps that may be best unless she cal let Roger come along. The writer will take care to receive and send him forward. If the weather were good and the ways a little dried, the direct way on horseback might do. There is a passage in Robin's letter which she stroked which makes the writer fear he will play the fool and refuse the oaths and loose his place. Is writing by this post to him about it. Refers to a terrible storm last Saturday night which killed many people. The writer however slept through it all having been sick the night before. There is this day a bill passed to review the poll bill; every clergyman worth £300 is to pay 20 shillings, and so is every teacher in a conventicle. |
