Records of the Old Charlton Hunt 



soft enough, but if there does not come rain I will not go 

 out again. 



The Young Hounds are still kept apart, neither have 

 they endeavourd to enter any of them, this Peice of 

 Easiness, may be lucky, for one of them calFd lluler bred 

 by M'. Ormes, did not care to feed last Friday, he was 

 immediately taken from the rest and lock'd up, he pin'd 

 away, and I had him dispatch 'd this Morning. He never 

 offered to bite as they say, so that It may be any thing else 

 as well as Madness, however this cannot affect your Old 

 Pack, they never having kept company togather : Neither 

 do I think it possible that Madness can without shewing it 

 self, be 19 weeks in any Dog (for so long it was last Friday) 

 since any Hound has been mad. This I beg you to talk to 

 some of Your Surgeons, Physitians, and Philosophers, and 

 send me their Opinion. Your Horses are very well and in 

 fine Order. I shall say no more att present on this Subject, 

 but assure you I will do my utmost to sett things to rights, 

 only if Lovell would recommend two or three couple of 

 truly good Hounds to you, I should not be against your 

 Buying them for I do not think three or 4 of the Young 

 ones will do. This is the present state of the case. When 

 will you have them go to Findon. 



I orderd Whenever my Panicr de Gibier comes from 

 France to have it carried directly to your Grace if it is well 

 stockt, pray spare my ]\Iother a Brace. I desire my Lady 

 Dutchess to accept of my sincere respects, and that you will 

 beleive me My Dear Lord Duke Your Graces 



Most faithfull and 



Obedient Servant
