Diary of the times of Charles II/Volume 1/The Earl of Sunderland to Mr. Sidney, August 8
THE EARL OF SUNDERLAND TO MR. SIDNEY.
August 8.
Yesterday the council was adjourned to the first Wednesday after Michaelmas, and the Treasury to the 22nd of September, so that we may be as idle as we please. The elections they say are likely to be at least as good as they were. The King meddles in none, which I think the better, but is the most resolved that can be to do all reasonable things which can be desired of him. The Duke has writ to the King to give Lady Anne leave to go to Brussels for a little time, which he has granted, and to the young lady likewise. Will Herbert and I are better friends than ever.
I am entirely yours.
Sir W. Temple will certainly be chosen at Cambridge.
