[fol. 247] 16 Febr. 1703/4 Honor’d Sir, Had I not been troubled with a very terrible cold ever since this day sennight I should have waited on you & have told you that I read the Papers & took the minutes at Gresham Coll last week and left them all with Mr Hunt. I should also have sent you, before now, those few Papers which I told you of formerly, and could not find, till not long since. I beg that you would be pleas’d to accept of them as coming from a person who is sincerely devoted to your service, & is heartily sorry that he has no beter way of shewing what an Impression your many Favors & Kindnesses have made upon him, who shall always remaind with the utmost Respect Honor’d Sir, Your most obliged & faithful humble sevant Humfrey Wanley
