From B.Bishop G.Gordon
"London, July 6. 1775.
You will think it, I am very sen-
sible, of sufficient Importance, tho'though I
have little else at present worth
communicating, when I tell you, that,
I had a Letter the other Day from
Cousin Peggie, who gives me the
Pleasure of hearing that She &and her
Companion are in perfect good
Health, &and desires, with kind Re-
membrance of all Friends, that
they ^^maymak know it. They are in the
DutchyDuchy of Tuscany, where they
have been some Time.

Mr Bowdler is greatly pleased &and
obliged by the Account of Dr Hickes's
Life, which is very valuable &and
distinct for the Compass of it; &and
likewise for the curious Anedote
relating to K.King Charles the 1t's1st's
Baptism. 'Tis lucky they fell into
your Hands.
