Lord and Lady Bolingbroke are here; and I think she is better than when I came; they stay, as I guess, only about a fortnight longer.

They both desired me to make their compliments; as does Mr.Congreve, who is in a very ill state of health, but somewhat better since he came here....

I do not know how long I shall stay here, because I am now, as I have been all my life, at the disposal of others.

I drink the waters, and am in hopes to lay in a stock of health, some of which I wish to communicate to you....

'The Beggar's Opera' is acted here; but our Polly has got no fame, though the actors have got money.
