Coll. Ball. Oxon. Nov 17th 1760
Sir:
Tho I staid in London a Day or two affor I
saw you, yet I was so much hurried that I could
not again have the pleasure of waiting upon
you.—
I spent an hour with your Son one Morning
in the last Week, very agreeably.—He had read
a Letter from you, wrote since I saw you, which
he propos'd answering that Day. —Among
other political Subjects the King's Death being
introduc'd gave me an Opportunity of reminding
him how fortunate he was in having it so
soon in his power to make himself known
as I was sure, if he exerted himself, he need
not fear, that his composition would be rejected
—It seems he was thinking upon that very Subject
when I saw him. — He is quite
settled in his Rooms&perfectly happy in
an Academical Life. — He has stood the
Stare of the whole University as his Youth
&the littleness of his Sire naturally attract
the eyes of every one. However all enquiries
after him will tend much to his Credit
by convincing People that he has multum
in parvos
