AND THE REV. R. CHURTON. 189 



only for a week or a fortnight. About the 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 

 12 th or 13 th of Octob r all the way to Coll. 



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

 episcopate of above 40. It did not afford much concerning 

 Selborne, but would, it seems, furnish much matter con- 

 cerning the Lollards, who were cruelly harassed in the reign 

 of Hen. 4. 



The way to Selborne is Dorchester, Wallingford, Pangborn; 

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

 for Aldermaston-wharf, Aldermaston; Basingstoke, Tunworth- 

 doxon under Hackwood-park pales, the Golden-pot ale-house, 

 Alton, Faringdon, Horse-and-J ockey , Selborne. 



Please to direct to me as before at Selborne near Alton 

 Hants. If you know anybody in the N. 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 Sir, 

 If you have no more fears about a winter-journey than I had 

 at your time of life, you might, I should hope, favour me with 

 a visit during the approaching vacation. The country indeed
