" I heard but once from you since you came to
your journey's end. I am glad that you met with
your wallet, but that Freeman was peevish I am sorry
but not surprised. The letters from Mr. Holloway
have miscarried, which should have brought accounts
from your parts of the nth, N.S. If you writ at that
time, let us have it again, with what has occurred
since; for your correspondents expect to hear fre-
quently from you in such a critical conjuncture. Tell
Morley that this is the time to bestir himself, and to

may have what they please on that condition ; but
otherwise they may drive him to the necessity of
putting himself into the hands of quacks, which would
be much against his inclination. If Mr. Atterbury
(Queen Anne) could be persuaded to dismiss Proby
(the Parliament), it would be a great point." 2
