Dear Brother,

Having noe news to send you, I hope these prints may be a diversion to you. Greg's Paper being out of print about the time there was a talk of looking into that matter, 'twas reprinted again, and I don't remember I ever sent it you. The speech of Caius M has been out some time, but lately come to my hands, and I had compared it with original in Sallust, and had coppy'd out the latine for you to have compared, but this morning I mett with this other translation with the English and latine together; and that translator supposes Lord H to be the Author of the first, which I was glad to hear somebody named for't, for among all my acquaintance I cou'd have no guesses made of him, tho' every body own it a good thought and handsomely exprest.
