1780 THE WAY TO SELBOENE 53 



time that term begins I should be glad also to go to Oxford, 

 and, provided health permits, will give you a cast in a 

 post-chaise about the 12th or 13th of October all the way to 

 College. 



Dr. Chandler left me the week before last. After much 

 delay we got one vol. of Bishop Beaufort's Eegister, the only 

 one that can be found; but it contained only thirteen 

 years of a long episcopate of above forty. It did not afford 

 much concerning Selborne, but would, it seems, furnish 

 much matter concerning the Lollards, who were cruelly 

 harassed in the reign of Hen. 4th. 



The way to Selborne is Dm^chesteVy Wallingford, Panghorn ; 

 here leave the Eeading-road, and go down the new turn-pike 

 for Aldermaston-Yjhoxi, Aldermaston ; Basingstoke^ Tunworth- 

 down under Hackwood-^s^vk pales, the Golden-pot ale-house, 

 Alton, Faringdon, Horse- and- Jockey, Selborne. 



Please to direct to me as before at Selborne near Alton 



Hants. If you know anybody in the K whom it may 



concern, you may assure them that the crop of hops in the 



S. is prodigious; and that they are very fine in quality. 



I conclude Your most humble servant, 



Gil. White. 

 Pray write soon.

Dear Molly, — My journey, I thank God, proved much less 

 irksome than I had reason to fear: while I was in the 

 carriage I was easy, but had a pinch at Winton, where we 

 dined. My driver was the most civil man alive; but I 

 found that the days were too short for one pair of horses ; 

 for, had there been no moon, we had been in dead darkness
