termine his fortune, and give you the satisfaction of having made him and his family as happy as they can wish to be.
I am, sir,
your most humble servant,
TO THE REV. MR. ARCHDEACON WALLS.
I HAD just now a letter from you, wherein you mention the design of making me prolocutor. I will confess to you, there are two reasons why I should comply with it; one is, that I am heartily weary of courts, and ministers, and politicks, for several reasons impossible to tell you; and I have a mind to be at home, since the queen has been pleased that Ireland should be my home: the other reason is, that I think somebody educated in Dublin college should be prolocutor; and I hear there are designs of turning it another way. But, if you find it will not do, I hope you will quit the design in proper season. I condole with you for the loss of your[1] companions this winter; and I was always of opinion they should be in town, unless they find their health better at Trim.
I am a little disappointed in Parvisol's[2] return.
