LS to an unnamed recipient, 1746 May 10.

Manuscript, in a single hand, of a letter which describes Cave's recently completed journey by coach to Oxford, Cambridge, and other places. He writes, "Our intended speed was unexpectedly interrupted by Waters in some places near a furlong in length but not otherwise disagreeable as we could every where discern the Gravel at the bottom not far off being only the Exuberance of that pleasant Stream which rises about Missenden." In a postscript, Cave notes that the reason the recipient has received this letter so soon is due to "the goodness of an expert & ready writer, who offered to transcribe it, who is charmed (like me) with, & longs for a further opportunity of enjoying, your conversation."
