To B.Bishop G.Gordon
I
hope, I may now salute You &and Mrs G.Gordon in
health &and safety at your own Fireside.
Be so good as to inform me how ye
held out in your Journey, this being
the main design of my writing at
present, though I am indebted to
You for a Letter of the 15th instant,
far from being long &and tedious, as it
brought the agreeable Accounts ytthat
the leg was become more limber &and easy. 1998 (1998)
May the amendment increase to
the happy Removal of the Ail-
ment, which we will be glad to hear.

I am glad, the Verses are to your
Pleasure. Have you seen the West-
minster Magazine for SeptrSeptember last?
It has a most curious &and bold device,
not fit to be described even in harm-
less Manuscript.

T.Thomas Bowdler informs me of a most
rare &and valuable Folio MSManuscript at
Burnhall, all in the Hand-writ-
ing of the late RevdReverend Mr Bed-
ford, which has raised my Curi-
osity greatly. But, alas! I cannot
expect to have my Eyes &and Mind
feasted with a serious Perusal of
that Collection of Secret Points of
interesting History.
