my choice. I am very intimate with Mr. Glover,
who will bring out a Tragedy next winter on my account. I have
supp'd with the great Mr. Murray, Counsellor, and shall with Mr.
Pope by his introduction. I supp'd with Mr. Littleton, the prince's
favourite, last Thursday night, and met with the highest civility
and complaisance; he told me he never knew what acting was till I
appeared, and said I was only born to act what Shakspeare writ....
I believe nobody as an Actor was ever more caressed, and my
character as a private man makes 'em more desirous of my company
(all this _entre nous_ as one brother to another). I am not fixed
for next year, but shall certainly be at the other end of the town.
I am offered 500 guineas and a clear benefit, or part of the
management," &c.

The whole collection forms, indeed, a curious and new contribution
towards the biography of that distinguished actor.
