KILLIGEEW MANUSCRIPTS. 79 



to my next. The present Cause of this is to enclose to M' 

 Wnhnsley,* w"'" I would not delay for his Encouragni* who it 

 seems shares with you in y* ill cpialities of y" people you are 

 placed amongst, tho I think affecting his meak Speritt more 

 than yours. 



By what I understand from M" Laroche, Her Husband 

 doth not set out from Bodmin for y" West till y* 20"' from 

 whence I am in hopes that y* Letter I sent you to meet him at 

 ffalm" of y" 11th and should come to your hands y" 16*'' Ho will 

 finde with you on his Arrival at Arwenack ; a Letter very fully 

 Instructing him for his behaviour with y" Agent t)n ni}' behalfe : 

 We are certainly in time, And I will not neglect your hinte of 

 preventing a Surprise upon y" Post otHce here : Between you 

 and I, Mr. Agent behaves like a right Easkall, in using y" 

 pretence of y" opposition of y"Town, when in varying y" question. 

 He would be very angry, Should any one pretend y" thing is in 

 y* Diposal of y" Board here or be any waye influenced by an 

 Interest from y* Town : you will Instruct M'' Ijaroche if this 

 Letter comes in time, concerning this shuttle of y" Agents, who 

 must show him y'" Agent, That he makes a poor figure in y" 

 pretence ; that we do not value y" opposition and that should it 

 come to that, He may chance to see it disposed oft". Independent 

 of him ; Have a New Dwelling to Seek, and perhaps some 

 arrears of Rent to pay, more then he may think olf : And that 

 upon such sham opi)osition, we shall look upon him to be at y" 

 bottome of it, and must bo Expected to be treated accordingly.

"Mr. Ab'» Hall. 



By this post 1 have yours of y" 17*'' curr*, Whereby I liold 

 my Selfe to bo fortunate in having my Letter hit M' Laroche so 

 patly at Arwenack as it did ; and own my being to blame in 

 not writing it sooner tho I thiiike he hurryes to git out of y" 

 country sooner, then he told me ho thought he shoiild * *
