from the time of his going from Westminster School to Oxford
than he has ever done under mine.
As natural as it may be for a Parent to extend his
Views and wishes with respect to his Children, I am
howsoever become so much of a Philosopher, by Contracting
mine, as to content myself with the reflection, that
the satisfaction my Son enjoys arises so much from
himself, that no accidents of Life are likely to deprive
him of it while he has that Share of Health, & soundness
of mind he has at present, and which seem to promise
to be lasting.
That it may long continue to be so, when I am no more,
is a wish, with which I persuade myself, your Lordship
will have the goodness to allow me to conclude the
trouble I have now given you, together with the
asurance that I am, with the most perfect Regard
my good Lord
Your Lordship's.
most obedt & very humble
Servant
