are the leaders. Pray God bless you, my dear friend, and let us have a correspondency as long as I live. I am ever,
Most dear sir,
Your constant esteemer, and
most obedient humble servant,
TO THE SAME.
MY DEAR GOOD OLD FRIEND IN THE BEST AND WORST TIMES.
MR. Richardson is come to town, and stays only for a wind to take shipping for Chester, from whence he will hasten to attend you as his governor in London. I have told you that he is a very discreet, prudent gentleman, and I believe your society can never have a better for the station he is in. I shall see him some time to day or to morrow morning, and shall desire, with all his modesty, that he press you to write me a long letter, if your health will permit; which I believe is better than mine, for I have a constant giddiness in my head, and what is more vexatious, as constant a deafness.
