Dear Sir
Your not mentioning any thing, of madam Gregor's
coming to yê Bath; makes me conclude, you are
a stranger to that place, & may be better employed
at S^t Stephens Chapel, then counting your oaks, which
were an employment fit for M^r Honeycorn, who
hath studied yê art of surveying, so that tis become
natural to him. Sir I judge you are now in perfect
health, & shall be glad to see you in this place, where
all your friends are well poor Lady Carew since her
daughters recovery is fallen ill at Basing, making
yê relations afraid of her which would be an extraordinary
loss (should yê providence of God remove her) to that family
I am
Sir your affectionate & most
humble servant
H Boscawen
