Scope and content

Chelsea. - 'You will do me a real favour if you can, thro’ your Friend Browne or any other eligible channel, procure me a winter requiem for this horse of mine. I hope to have finished my affairs here in about a fortnight; am off then towards Scotland:—and should be very glad to annihilate the Horse till the end of February next...'; it is a good horse, but Carlyle will have no need of it until then.

'Cromwell’s own things are now all out of my hands,—the last this very day: but there is a conclusion to do, an Index &c &c: there is still certainly a fortnight’s work in the business. You will get the Book to try your hand upon in October (so the Booksellers arrange)'
