Transcription
[fol. 314] 9. March. 1701/2. Honor’d Sir, The hurry I’me in, which yet is necessary, will not permit me to wait on you, these 2 days yet: And I send this, to prevent your thinking that I have not that great Love, that sincere Value, Respect & Honor for you, that I have always profess’d, and that your great Favors have made a Duty incumbent upon me. I am chosen secretary to the society, who were unanimous in the Resolution, and ‘taws at a very full meeting. They have augmented my salary, and my Business too. What I’me now bussied in, is, to give notice to all our Correspondents throughout England, of this Alteration, that they may direct their Letters to me for the future. And since this can’t be avoided, I humbly intreat you to have yet a little more patience with Honor’s Sir, You most faithful & humbley devoted servant H Wanley.
