LETTER lilX 109 



I have told my Tale & I thiak I may depend upon You to 

 forgive me for counter acting your Motions towards Sunbury at 

 present. My Respects attend your Family. As I shall be in 

 Town for a few Months in Wintsr in Case of Mr Y's Life I shall 

 want the Assistance of a Curate. If your Bro : chances to be 

 unemployed, or any body of your acquaintance, You may be of 

 Service to me perhaps on that Occasion, but this is antedating 

 Events. 



I am, My dear Gil, Sincerely and affectely Your's, 



J. Mulso. 



Letter 59. 



May 21, 1756. 

 Sunbury. 

 My dear Gil : 



I am extremely obliged to You for your sincere and friendly 

 Congratulations on the Ceremony of Tuesday last. Your concep- 

 tions were pretty lively in some Parts, which you describe as 

 if You saw at the Distance of Sixty Miles ; especially the 

 Behaviour of the Bride, which was exactly as You relate it. 

 But You are mistaken about the Company's not being ready ; 

 for tho' We were upwards of twenty People, besides Servants, all 

 were ready at the Time ; & the Bishop was released to the Prince 

 before his Hour. So now your Friend is no more the pensive 

 Batchelor, but a married man ; and indeed so lately one, that He 

 will not venture upon Ecomiums on the State ; only thus much, 

 that Mrs Mulso promises him, if possible, more Satisfaction as 

 a Wife, than She gave Him as a Mistress ; & we were then pretty 

 remarkable as happy People. She is obliged to You for the 

 Promise of your Friendship to her, & I am obliged to You for the 

 Motive You give. When We are settled here, we shall be very 

 glad to see You ; but I cannot exactly say, when the Visitations 

 that You talk of will be over : we shall have a fresh Cause to 

 wish them over soon, that we may enjoy your Promise. We 

 came down hither yesterday in a Chariot to meet the Upholsterer 

 who is to fit out our Apartments in a plain Way : We return 

 again tomorrow to Town, where I shall stay the rest of the 

 week, but whether I can manage to bring down my family wth 

 me at the End of it, I cannot tell. I have but a Minute to 

 write to You in, being perpetually interrupted by the People of 

 Business : You will excuse my being so abrupt. I beg my 

 Respects to your Family with many Thanks for their kind wishes 

 on this happy Event. 



You have cleared Yourself about the Sermon, I shew'd your 

 Letter to Heck, but I cannot conceive what Mr Trenby could 

 mean. My Wife's Love and Mine attend You. 



I am. Dear Gil, Afftely Your's, 

 J. Mulso.
