[fol. 166] U.C. May 13. 1701 Sr With great Pleasure and satisfaction, I have often remembred Dr Sloanes Civilitys wth the good Deane of Worcester, who having spent a fortnight with us, I could not part with, without desiring him to tell, how much, and how many here are, your Freinds, and Humble Servants: We have now a Librarian, who knows hot to read, write, and value Books, and will studdy to augment the Glory and Reputation of Sr Ho. Bodlys Collection, wch has been so considerably increased by your Liberality, and happy Industry, as must be ever acknowledgd and published by Sr Your very [?] Freind Ar Charlett
Charlett was elected Master of University College at Oxford in 1692 and held that post until his death in 1722. Charlett used the mastership to gain influence, especially through persistent letter-writing to numerous correspondents, sharing the latest literary, political, and scholarly gossip (R. H.
