To Sir Charles Wolsely.
Hague,Aug. 10. S. N. 1669.
SIR,
I Received some Time since the Favour of a Letter from you of May 9th; but hearing by your Son that you had soon after left the Town; and finding how ill Fortune one of mine had met with in lying five or six Months before it came to your Hands: I omitted the acknowledg∣ing yours till I might presume on finding you sooner by my Father's Conveyance, to whose Care I have committed this, upon Information of his Journy by your House into Ireland. Were it not for ac∣quitting my Debt, and assuring you of

your Son's Health, and Welcom here while it may be any Ease to you or Im∣provement to him, I should have little to bear me out in giving you this Trouble: For the Return of your Compliments would but multiply them between us: And that is a sort of Exercise in which I am soon out of Breath, as having but a small Stock of those more refined Imaginations which are required to make up any great Abilities in that kind. Therefore I shall end an empty ill Letter as soon as I can; but not without the Professions of my being
SIR,
Your most humble Servant.
