| Description | Wynne's nephew, William Owen, came up last Saturday night. The duty of his parish would not give the writer leave to attend him till Monday. Has used all the expedition in the world to settle him. He seems to be very easy that he is admitted here [Jesus College]. The writer will willingly undertake his tuition. The money Owen has brought with him does not fully answer the expenses he is obliged to be at; the writer has ordered him to send an account to the country how he has laid out his money. 'We have a Regiment of soldiers quartered upon us who use ye Townsmen & University pretty roughly, but don't use any violence unless they are provok'd. There is an Association handed about sign'd by most of ye Bishops amongst ye rest our worthy P ______l, it has been rejected (they say) by Smaldrige & Gastrel & ye Vic Chancr. They say ye Government is willing to ease us of our new guests provided we shew some tokens of repentance for what we have done by addressing, but I don't find ye we think ourselves in ye wrong in ye choice of a Chancr." |
