fox, well knowin that it spoils Hariers, as for my dogs if 

 they at any time are found running a fox, I desire they may 

 be shot, and shal be well pleas'd with it, and if that practice 

 be well follow'd as it should be, the fox hunters sport would 

 in a litle time cease to be interrupted, my L*^ I repeat it 

 again that I wish all dogs that follow foxes except the fox 

 hounds, were shot constanly on seing it, and I give free 

 liberty to any man to shoot mine on that occasion, and if 1 

 can in any thing be assistant in preventing the interruption 

 of the sport of the Charlton Gentlemen, I shal wilhngly be 

 serviceable in it, in this or any thing els, I shal be glad to 

 shew all respect to your Grace being very truly 



Your Grace's 



Most obedient and 



Most Humble Servant
