LBTTEE LXVIII 121 



I breakfasted wth the Provost, & had a Peep at John Bosworth 

 who was booted for London. We were shewn about Christ 

 Church by Dr Bentham, saw his Lady and one Babe ; & liked 

 them very much. But it was a particular Felicity to meet Jo : 

 Warton at Oxford, we had great Joy in the Meeting ; He is the 

 same ardent Creature he always was, & when we parted it had 

 like to have cost me the Bone-setting of my right Hand. We 

 sat out for Home on Fryday Morn : near 8 o'Glock, & break- 

 fasted at Henley, dined at Windsor, & drank Tea at 6 o'Clock at 

 Sunbury : & so ended our Oxford Expedition ; which indeed 

 wanted a great RheUsh in your not being a Party in it, for You 

 seem to belong to us at Oxford, but in other Respects was very 

 agreable : & I can now talk to You of your Pomp at Statues, & 

 the Ceiling of Ch : Ch : Library, the old Prior's Dining Hall (now 

 the Canon's) : & of Vansittart's Chambers ; all which were new 

 to Me. Come then, for I have much to say to You on many 

 Subjects. 



Our Bishop is not quite compleat, but will be so in about 

 a Fortnight, as to Salisbury ; in all Probability he will but just 

 see it at ye latter End of the Summer. 



Mrs Mulso's Affte Comps. attend You. She bids me tell You 

 that tho' the white Boom is occupied, yet You will be welcome to 

 make Visits in the Chambers in a Morning & to the rest of the 

 House. Mem : Miss Prescot is not confined to her Chamber. 

 Well, we hope to see You, and I am in the mean Time 



Dear Gil, Afiftely Your's, 



J. Mulso. 



Letter 68. 



Sunbury, 



June 19, 1757. 

 Dear Gil : 



I received your kind Letter yesterday, & am glad that we 

 shall have the Pleasure of seeing You soon. I shall be glad if 

 when You have settled the Day You would let me know it, 

 because if I do not part wth my old Keffle before ye Time, You 

 may chance to meet me at Mr Frederic's Park Pales. I desire 

 that You would use your Discretion about ye two Steeds that 

 You have seen, but let me have One of them, if your Mind holds 

 in their Favour. I cannot say that I am partial to a Horse 

 whose worst Pace is that which I use most, a short Trott. I 

 purpose to set about the Purifying my Stable when I have sold 

 my Horse, & I have bid Jo : Sadler look out for a Chap. He 

 may be worth a Guinea or so. 



The Bishop was to be confirmed yesterday, so that now the 

 Preferments of Salisbury are in his Hands, & he assumes the
