D[ea]r Sir
I beg your Acceptance of a Brace of Pheas[an]ts sent this Day by [th]e Mail Coach, kill’d yesterd[a]y.—I take this Opport[unit]y of returning you my Thanks for [th]e Information & Entertainm[en]t y[ou]r Library afforded me when in Town; & I heartily congratulate you on [th]e perfect Recovery of our worthy King, without fearing any chance of Relapse according to my Opinion.
