ROBERT NUGENT[1], ESQ., TO MRS. WHITEWAY.
MADAM,
BATH, APRIL 2, 1740.
I HAD not until very lately an opportunity of letting Mr. Pope know his obligations to you; of which he is very sensible, and has desired me to beg that you will remit to me, by a safe hand, whatever letters of his are now in your possession. I shall be in town next week; so that you may be pleased to direct to me, by the first convenient opportunity, at my house in Dover street, London. I am, madam, with great esteem, your most humble and obedient servant,
My compliments to Mr. and Mrs. Swift. I shall say nothing of the picture[2] because I am sure you remember it. I must beg that you will let Mr. Bindon[3] know I would have the picture no more than a head upon a three quarter cloth, to match one which I now have of Mr. Pope.
