FROM ERASMUS LEWIS, ESQ.


TUESDAY, AUG. 3, 1714.


I AM overwhelmed with business, and therefore have only time to tell you, I received yours of August the first, and think you should come to town, to see how the world goes: for all old schemes, designs, projects, journeys, &c. are broke by the great event. We are ill prognosticators. Every thing goes on with a tranquillity we durst not hope for. Earl Berkeley commands the fleet. Lord Dorset compliments the king. The duke of Bolton, lord lieutenant of Southampton. Addison, secretary to the regents.
