 fitt subject of debate for Ladys. I am in hast now, but I must say tho' your letter is altogether very well, yet I am very affraid they will make objection to't as if 'twas betraying private conversation, as they did to a speech I told you of, you made in a certain place two years ago. I have not seen Mr. Lewis yet, and I don't know his thoughts upon't, but I am just going to Windsor and when I hear more you shall, but I'll never begin the discourse my self. Capt. Dilks tells me that Mr. Marshal told him last night for News that the Bishop of London was recall'd, and he was so possitive in't that he said he might use him for the Author, but of this you'll know more then we, I'll venture to wish you joy and conclude.

��Windsor, September %, 17 13. Dear Brother,

.... My Lord Treasurer came here a Saturday night, and went away yesterday, and looks in high delight, as well he may, for it is a great match for his family. They say he's like to bring about a composition with the Dutchess and Lord Pellham, so that there may be no more law suits, that no more of the estate may be spent among the lawyers.

We Tories carry the elections everywhere, but the Bucking- hamshire election has given accasion of the most talk and triumph. The Whigs there put wool in their hats, saying 'twas all going into France, and they were resolved to keep some on't, before 'twas all gone. Lord Wharton, Lord Bridgewater, Lord Portland and Lord Essex were at the head of them with wool in their hats ; and Lady Wharton with her own fair hands made up several cocars for the country fellows. The Tories had oaken boughs in their hats, and these jokes in their mouths against their adversary that their wits were gone a wool gethering, and that they look't very

sheepish, and ba'd them out of the feild.
