My dear Sam,
Your last gave me a great deal of pleasure, to find
you had succeeded so well, at last, in your Struggles with Euclid,
 
it put me in mind of Jacob's wrestling with the angels;
you were certainly right in your Conjectures, of our
Connections with the little Knight of the Rainbow,
who in that capacity shew'd a Spirit that surpris'd
every body, therefore you are not to wonder, that he
says you are a saucy fellow, in return for the Epithet,
you gave him. Tho' his part upon the Stage was
but a small one, it was made up to him in the
universal Commendation & applause he acquired
from the pleasing manner of his performing it - and
even the Dr. & Mr Vincent, who had no conception, that
his Voice & abilities were equal to the Part, were
forced to joyn in the general Elogium. in Short, the
Part of Gota, which had always been consider'd before as
a trifling under Part, Charles has rais'd to a Capital one,
and the Public Papers, particularly the Gazeteer, of
Thursday the 10th  & the morning Chronicle of Fryday ye 11th,
