Mr Stoeperdal
to hang em up in his Library. Hes tould the best in the world are made at Amsterdam. he expects they shou'd
^cost a good deal of money. All I can tell you of Mrs Baynton is, that I han't heard her hanging Speech
cry'd, so I hope all will be well. Lord Grantham is dangerously ill of the Small Pox. Garth is his
Phiysitian, and there's hopes of a great recovery. Sir B Beau Pheasant is in the same way. Sir Roger
Mosthyn is marrying (or married to) Lord Nottinghams Daughter. You see my Paper will
hold no more but my most hearty Service to you.
