Title: ---- To the COUNTESS OF LINDSEY.
Description:

--" This town is in so great a ferment at present upon the tryall of Dr. Sacheverell as I beleeve never was known. The mobb are of his side and attend him with loud huzzas at going to Westminster and coming back every day : and theire cry is No Presbyterians, no Meetings, for the Queen and the Church, and with this cry they attended the Queen's chaire through the Park yesterday. In short men's eyes and minds are wholly turnd upon this affaire, so that here is a sort of stopp to all businesse."

 

Postscript.--" Our Jack returns his thanks to his Lady Lindsey for his cake, of which he is very proud, and braggs of it to all our neighbours, . . . but he could not imagine how he should come by the kisse you said you had sent him, so at last I indeavourd to satisfy him by giving him one in your Ladyship's name."
