Copy of a Paragraph of a Let-
ter
(dated FebryFebruary 28th, 1749) in
Return to the Above.

You will oblige me much by transmit-
ting
to me by some sure private Hand
(&and not by Post) what you mention. And
if you would increase the Obligation by
giving me all that consists with your own 1215 (1215)
own Knowledge, &and all that you can
have well vouched from others, I
will deem it as the greatest Favour
you can do me. Be as minute &and
circumstantial as Possible, even
tho’though the Narrative should take up
several Sheets. I know, I can de-
pend
rely upon your Veracity;
&and therefore it is, that I am so
earnest upon the Subject. Take
Time, &and perform it with the ut-
most
Exactness. Pray, remember
me kindly to my Friend &and Bro-
ther
, Mr Hay, &and his Family, &and
[]tell him I long very much to
hear from him. Perhaps, he may
find out a private Bearer, when
you intend to write me. You’ll
understand my Meaning well e-
nough
.
