I take the earliest Opportunity of sending my Accounts after
Receipt of your last Dividends, & enclos’d in Them herewith, you
also receive the halves of £100. £20. &£15 Bank Notes, One
Hundred & Thirty five Pounds in all, & I shall be glad to hear of
their all reaching you safe at the same time you return Me one of
the Accounts sign’d by yourself & the Ladies as usual; when I will
immediately send the remaining halves of the Notes – I hope We
shall now have some fine & settled Weather for it has been a most
severe Winter – When the Parliament meets ‘tis to be hop’d public
affairs will go on better than of late, & that Stocks will rise to the
Price They ought to be. Notwithstanding the Advertisements ‘tis
much doubted whether there will be a Scrutiny for Westminster,
as ‘twould be attended with so considerable an Expence. I hope you
are perfectly recover’d & that your Breath is much better than twas.
Mrs Cowper desires her Compliments to you, & joyns in the same with
Me to M.rs Cooke & Miss Herbert, whom I hope enjoy their Health
