was forc'd to carry his Head : Then, He is intolerably shabby ; 

 & will not go on a Hand gallop without constant Incitement of 

 Spur & Whip. Nor can I conceive what wth Age & Infirmities 

 too it is possible for Him to keep Company with a Horse four- 

 teen feet [sic] high. Do not think that dislike to his Paces 

 makes me object to Him ; but really He is not fit for me at all ; 

 I like his Paces very well, & beleive when He was Young, that 

 he was an agreable creature. But would You have the P: of 

 Wales know me by such a Horse ? as He did by my lame One ! 

 — I am obliged to You for the Health You intended me in Him, 

 I hope You will succeed for Me, & I promise to be pleased if 

 I can reasonably be so ; that is, by other People's Judgements, 

 & not my own, 



I hope Mr White is better; your Bro. Ben: had poor Hopes 

 of Him last week, but my Lr was later than his Intelligence & 

 comforted Him ; I hope with Eeason. I deposited a Guinea 

 & half for Cyder, which for aught I know may be now at the 

 South Hams. You are concerned in this Venture. The Leaf 

 is out, & the Swallows, the Nightingales, & Cuckow have been 

 a good while here. I think since ye 22 of last month in my 

 Observation. 



Jo : Sadler will carry ye Horse to Staines tomorrow in ye 

 afternoon with Orders to leave Him at the Inn, from whence He 

 took Him ; where that is, I do not know. You will be so kind 

 as to send for Him : & what little Expence may attend the 

 Tarrying at Inns &c : we will settle when I see You here : which 

 by your Promise will be soon, if Mr White is in a right way, 

 which I heartily wish. The post is just going out. 



I am, Dear Gil, Afiftely Yours, 



J. Mulso. 



P.S. Pray do the Bp's Franks come free, for it is a debated 

 Point. 



Letter 46. 



To The Eeverend Mr White, at the Ed 



Mr Gibson's at Bishop's Waltham, Laleham 



Hampshire. May 28, 1754. 



Dear Gil : 



I hope You have received your little Horse, by the same 

 Method You took to convey Him to Me, safe, & I wish I could 

 say sound ; tho' if that has been the Case You would not have 

 received Him. But most of all I hope that You have not taken it 

 ill that I returned -Him before I had taken, what I promised, a 

 Month's Tryal. Indeed it needed not so much Deliberation ; & 

 my Father who was wth Me joined in the Opinion that he was 

 by no Means fit to be kept. I am very sensible of the Kindness
