130 LETTERS TO GIIiBERT WHITE 



Description of the Grot, & should be very glad to wait upon ye 

 Ladies thither. 



My Head is in a great Hurry wth frequent Interruptions, 

 I had better conclude than go wth so unconnected a Lr. Mrs 

 Mulso's & ye tivo Miss Mulso's Love attend You with that of 



Dear Gil, Your sincere Friend, 



J. Mulso. 



Letter 76. 



Sunbury, 



June 10, 1758. 

 Dear Gil : 



I hope You continue well since you wrote last, tho' You 

 give but a poor Account of the Healthfulness of Selbourne at the 

 Time You wrote : I had been 'till this last Week pretty stout, but 

 the extreme heats have overcome me, insomuch that I am now 

 writing to You while Mr Horton is edifying my Congregation : 

 Yet I am not improperly employed, since I am always acknow- 

 ledging one of God's Blessings while I am thinking of my Friend. 



Mrs Mulso is greatly alter'd for the better since You saw her, 

 She goes about again (tho' without Stays) & went wth me to 

 Mr Pigot's at Windsor yesterday was a Sennight. Mr Boone 

 has now little more to do even in ye healing ye wounds he had 

 made. Her Nights are not yet good, but I am willing to place 

 it to ye Account of the Weather. She desires to be kindly 

 remembered to You & Yours. 



My Father has been here a Fortnight, & goes tomorrow : I 

 have had several Rides wth Him in a gentle Pace, since he has 

 been here, but I think I have received more Pleasure than Profit 

 from them, for I do not know when I have been so low as 

 this Week, having fainted away in the middle of shaving last 

 Wednesday. 



Methinks I see You very busy at your Father's Map of 

 France, tracing out tbe environs of St Maloe's and Brest. We 

 have very favourable Accounts at present from all Quarters, & if 

 it please God to continue them We shall stand high in the Eye 

 of the World. Poor Captn Young cannot have a Share in any of 

 these great Doings, being but indifferent in Health, & Mrs Young 

 in a very dangerous Way. Bill Young is Surgeon to ye Duke of 

 Marlboro' in particular, as well as to ye general Hospital, & is 

 greatly pleased wth his Post. How providential was his coming 

 home to Us, & the Time of his Stay, which just tallied wth the 

 case of Mrs Mulso I I hope he will find a Reward for his great 

 Tenderness to her. 



I gape for public News wth greater Eagerness than ever.
