destroyed. I am a little surprised to hear of several Gentlemen
of Oxford hereabouts: Mr Capper was of Christ Church, & there
is another of that College, whom I remember at Westminster
School, that lives at Debenham, a Mr Forrester. Mr Chevalier,
it seems, has managed well in the comfortable state if matrimony:
he had not, I believe been many weeks married when we
were here last: since when he has had 4 children, 2 of which are
dead, & a 5th is expected. Mr Bacon died very rich: it is
said here, that besides his estates, he left 60,000 £ in money.
My cousin & Mrs Ray both enjoy very good health in the
: yesterday indeed he had some symptoms of an approaching
fit of the cholick, but he is better today: he now & then gets on
horseback, & takes a little exercise: they both desire their best respects
to your & my Mother. I have now told you all the news
& I must therefore proceed to assure you what I hope is not so, that
I am
Your dutifull & affectionate Son
