I came down here on this day sevennight, and could I have walked Out but the deep snow has prevented that I should have passed my time among my workmen tolerably well. Lord Lisbourne and Williams were to have come with me, but disappointed me. His lordship was hunting a mare's nest, as they say, and fancied he should be this week nominated either of the Admiralty or Board of Trade.

That since he hath appeared to her in the shape of a man, and did so on Wednesday sevennight past, but more usually he appears in the likeness of a dog, and cat, and a fly like a miller, in which last he usually sucks in the poll, about four of the clock in the morning, and did so January 27, and that it usually is pain to her to be so suckt."

There is no Oubourn; that family has been occupied, and is now, between recovering a little of his Grace's sight, and niggling themselves into Administration.

I will play on this week only; and if I have a good run, I will carry it off with me; if a bad one, the loss can hardly amount to anything considerable in seven days, for I hope to see you in town to-morrow sevennight.
