Alderman Barber to Dr. Swif MOST HONOURED AND WORTHY SIR, London, July 2, 173ft, J HAVE deferred anfwering the favours of yours of the 9th and 31ft of March, in hopes to have fomething to entertain you with, and I have lucceeded in my wifties for I am fure I give you great pleafure when I tell you the inclofed 1 received from the hands of lord Bolingbroke and Mr Pope, your deareft friends. My lord has been here a few days, and is come to fell Daivleyy to pay his debts; and he will return to France, where, where, T so cold, he is writing the Hiftory of his own Times, which I heartily rejoice at (though I am not likely to live to fee it publifhed) becaufe fo able a hand can do nothing but what muft be inftruive and entertaining to the next generation. His lordfhip is fat and fair, in high (pints but joins with you, and all good men, to lament our prefent unhappy fituation. Mr. Pope has a cold, and complains, but he is very well; fo well, that he throws out a twelve-penny touch in a week or ten days, with as much eafe rs a friend of ours formerly ufed to roafl the enemies to their country. The repojt of the duke of Or mold's return is without foundation. His grace is very well in health, and lives in a very handfome manner, and has Mr. Kelly with him as his chaplain, the gentleman who efcaped out of the Tower. A worthy friend of yours and mine paffed through Avignon about a month fmce, and dined writh his Grace, from whom I have what 1 tell you, I hear nothing of Dr. Squire's departure: I believe I may fay the matter is fecured for Mr. Dunkin I have feen lord and lady Oxford, who make you'their compliments. He thanks you for your medal.<
