| Description | Is sorry for the death of his (the writer's) cousin Stephen and Mr. Lloyd. His design was then (when he last wrote to Owen) to dispose what Owen could get of the rent of the writer's house to the relief of his most necessitous relations, but since he finds it better to follow Owen's advice of reserving it for thw writer's own use. The report of a Popish provost designed for their College has much damaged the schools in these parts; if it continues, the writer must think of another way of living. His uncle William invites the writer to come and help him and some others in the discharge of their cures. His uncle sends Owen his respects and intends shortly to send him some fir seeds. Is much subject to the cold, toothache etc., in winter occassioned by the dampness of the school.
Your obliged nephew and servant. "Our Chancellor who pas'd lately was one Mr Stannard, Mr Ed. Jones (who is our Register) is hearty and well" |
