TO DR. KING, BISHOP OF DERRY.
MY LORD,
DUBLIN CASTLE, JULY 16, 1700.
I WAS several times to wait on your lordship at your lodgings; but you were either abroad, or so engaged, that I could not be permitted the honour to attend you. I have an humble request to your lordship, that you will please to excuse me if I cannot be at the triennial visitation; for, my lord[1] and lady continually residing at the lodge, I am obliged to a constant attendance there.
I am, with all respect,
My lord,
Your lordship's most obedient
and most humble servant,
- ↑ Earl of Berkeley, then one of the lords justices of Ireland.
DR.
