Excerpt: ... LETTER CCXC1V. Lord BOL1NGBROKE to Dr. SWIFT. August zdy 1731 Jam indebted to you, my reverend Dean, for a letter of a very old date: the expectation of seeing you from week to week, which our friend Gay made me entertain, hindered me from writing to you a good while; and I have since deferred it by waiting an opportunity of sending my letter by a safe hand.
