Thanking him for his letter and concern and mentioning that he is "barely well again;" lamenting Fotescue's "dismal journey" and quoting Catullus; thanking him for "excusing me form writing a long letter, or showing my Witt at such a distance as Devonshire;" mentioning that Arbuthnot has played a joke upon him and John Gay, noting "Gay is made to believe I had a Clap, of which I fancy you'l hear his Sentiments in that ludicrous way, which God has given him to excell all others in."
