Sir
Sleeping at my Daughter's house, last night,
the Globe Coffee-House, Charles-Street, Hatton-Garden,
your letter did not come to hand, till I went to my
duty, this morning. — I am much afraid, that my
opinion upon unaccountable Pardons, would be of little
avail, set in opposition to the Chancellor and the Privy
Council. A person in so humble a Station as I am,
could not possibly be considered but as a feather in
the balance, against such a host of consequence, with
the Recorder, as the drill-serjeant of the whole corps.
He wishes, in fact, to be thought to know every thing
relative to Prisoners; whereas, he knows —
till he enquires from the Police-Runners, or Mr. Kirby. — However, Sir, I shall try to recollect
what I can, and bring some memor.s with me,
on Tuesday, to your hospital board. In the mean
time, try to recollect such questions, as you want
answered, commit them to paper, & take the trouble
of directing them, as above, to yr most obliged &
very hum. Sert.
