ROBERT NUGENT^[1], ESQ., TO MRS. WHITEWAY.

MADAM,

BATH, APRIL 2, 1740.

I HAD not until very lately an opportunity of letting Mr. Pope know his obligations to you; of which he is very sensible, and has desired me to beg that you will remit to me, by a safe hand, whatever letters of his are now in your possession. I shall be in town next week; so that you may be pleased to direct to me, by the first convenient opportunity, at my house in Dover street, London. I am, madam, with great esteem, your most humble and obedient servant,

R. N.

My compliments to Mr. and Mrs. Swift. I shall say nothing of the picture^[2] because I am sure you remember it. I must beg that you will let Mr. Bindon^[3] know I would have the picture no more than a head upon a three quarter cloth, to match one which I now have of Mr. Pope.

↑ Afterward lord Clare.
↑ Of Dr. Swift.
↑ The greatest painter and architect of his time in these kingdoms. See vol. VIII, page 240. On account of his age, and some little failure in his sight, he threw aside his pencil soon after the year 1750; and afterward lived to a good old age, greatly beloved and respected by all who had the happiness either of his friendship or acquaintance. He died June 2, 1765.
