As probably you may be curious to see one of ^our
daily Papers, which has had the Honour to
be censured in very strong Terms by the
House of Commons, I here incloseenclose it for
your Entertainment. Perhaps, you may be
surprizedsurprised to read any Thinganything so plain &and bold
in a Common News-Paper, especially too in
this Paper, nay, &and at the very time when the
Printer Himself was in Custody of the Ser-
jeant at Arms, for printing Horn’s Letter to
the Speaker of the House. It is farther re-
markable, that this very same South Briton
was in the Morning-Post the same Day,
&and that Morning-Post printed too by Mr
Woodfall’s own Brother; a Family re-
markable for having all of them been
bitter Revolutionists. Such strange Things
do we see in our Days!

I forgot mentioning to you in my last,
that our Nephew George is on the very Brink
of Matrimony, nay, perhaps, married at this
time to a young Lady in the County of
Suffolk, her Name Mott. She is about
19. We have never seen her, nor do we
know much of her Family; yet this we
know, that she is not of our Society; &and
how long poor George Himself may be
so, I fear, is now become doubtful from his
new ConnexionsConnections. It has been an hasty Affair, &and
I wish not too hasty. His good Grandmother
has not known more of it, than We. But time
must shewshow all; &and as Things appear at present,
I cannot say we are very well pleased. To have
George married, is what we wished, as he has
no Taste for Books, &and was quite an idle Body,
&and consequently in a dangerous State; but to have
had him properly married, was the Thing desired. 2006 (2006)
All I shall say more on the Occasion is, we
must hope the best. George is at present in Suf-
folk at the young Lady’s Father’s House.

We were sorry to hear of the Failures you
mentioned; tho’though Mr Lothian’s Loss does
not much affect us; for we know of no good
he does wtwith his Money; a poor Creature.”
