Hon Sir
Hitherto I have waited in Expectation
of a line from you, as you promised at parting; but
as I imagine you may have forgot that promise, I write
this to put you in mind of it. —— Since you left Oxford
it has been put beyond all doubt that there is
to be some publick Affair this next Act; but whether
an Encaenia or a Publick Act is not yet known
but will be determined by Vote in the Convocation
House as is said, in a little Time: whether we are
like to be honoured by their Majesty's presence, you can
tell I suppose better than we; tho' I suppose it can hardly
be known yet. An acquaintance was telling me last night
that Mr Jefferson had made him a kind of an Offer
of speaking in the Theatre; which very much surpriz'd
me, as he is but very lately come to College, nay even since
