Catalogue description PEREGRINE BERTIE to his brother, the EARL OF LINDSEY.

--I am afraid, now, Lord Willoughby could do nothing even if his mind should change, "for he has put 5,000l. into the Million Act, which is 700l. a yeare, which will make him live at ease, whilest his seate will be spoiled. ... As to nuse, there is none that is good. The seige of Belgrade is raised with the losse of 4,000, and though Charleroy is not taken, yet it must be, wee being to weake to releeve it, and wee have lately lost the Dimant frigate with five Barbados shippes which weere of greate vallew. The Dimant never fired a gun. My Lord President, though verry ill, is gone this day to visitt Wimbleton. Your son Phillip will give you a full account of all affaires at Court."

Postscript.--"The Kinges coaches are gone to meete him when he shall land."
