Eecords of the Old Charlton Hunt 



complain as your Grace seems to credit such information. 

 Were I by chance my Lord to kill one of your foxes I do 

 afsure you I would be the first person to acquaint your 

 Grace of it myself. Tis true there has been a brace of foxes 

 killd in the upper part of the forrest by my hounds but they 

 were neither of them found there and I dare say your Grace 

 is too keen a sportsman to desire I should not follow them 

 I shall not trouble your Grace any further about this affair 

 at present but shall do myself the honour to wait on your 

 Grace the moment I come to Town and make no doubt 

 I shall satisfie you as to that matter mean while I hope your 

 Grace will do me the justice to believe that there is nobody 

 to whom I should be more sory to give cause of complaint 

 and that I have the honour to be with the greatest sincerity
