 Wanted an Horse, M. or G. of size and strength, that has figured on the Turf, that will be sold cheap, as being in years, but not past gentle road use, perfectly quiet and temperate, whose paces are smooth and easy to the Rider, and free from all vice.

P. S. If an Horse be recommended, I had rather he had covered, if he will be ridden on the road in company with a Mare, and be quiet as a Gelding. But I shall not approve of one, either blind, lame, or broken-winded. Stiffness at starting I shall not regard it, nor his Age, though in his Teens, if his constitution be good, and he can feed well, and yet go well, and safely to the Rider.

A line (and I pray such compliment may be speedily vouchsafed me) of the Size, Age, Pedigree, Colour, and his Performances, with his lowest Price, will be immediately attended to. If I approve of the account, and the terms, I shall send to buy and ride him
