Letter to ^Marriott 

 ( l6 73) 



M r . Marriott, 



I have received Bentevolio, and in it M r . Her*, life ; I thank you for 

 both. I have since I saw you received from M r . Milington so much of M r . 

 Hales his life as M r . Faringdon had writ ; and have made many inquiries 

 concerning him, namely of M rs . Powny, of Windsor (at whose house he died), 

 and as I have heard, so have set them down, that my memory might not 

 lose them. M r . Mountague did at my being in Windsor promise me to sum- 

 mon his memory, and set down what he knew of him. This I desired him 

 to do at his best leisure, and write it down, and he that knew him and all his 

 affairs best of any man is like to do it very well, because I think he will do 

 it affectionately, so that if M r . Fulman make his queries concerning that part 

 of his life spent in Oxford, he will have many, and good, I mean true infor- 

 mation from M r . Faringdon, till he came thither, and by me and my means 

 since he came to Eton. 



This I write that you may inform M r . Fulman of it, and I pray let him 

 know I will not yet give over my queries ; and let him know that I hope to 

 meet him and the Parliament in health and in London in October, and then 

 and there deliver up my collections to him. In the mean time I wish him 

 and you health ; and pray let him know it either by your writing to him, 

 or sending him this of mine. 



God keep us all in his favour, 



his and your friend to serve you, 



IZAAK WALTON.
