OP  DR.  DODDRIDGE.  69

The  small-pox  prevails  in  Harborough:  neither
Mr.  Some  nor  Mr.  Arthur  have  had  it.  They  both
have  entertained  thoughts  of  being  inoculated ;  but  I
much  question  whether  either  of  them  will  venture
upon  it.  Last  Lord^s  day  I  received  a  letter  from
Mr.  Gist  to  remind  me  of  a  bill  which  he  says  is
four  pounds  twelve  shillings,  but  which  is  an  ex-
travagant price  for  a  drugget  suit.  I  beg  the  favour
of  you  to  discharge  it  as  soon  as  possible,  and  to
receive  five  pounds  of  Mr.  King,  in  the  Poultry,  in
the  beginning  of  the  next  year.  I  hope  I  may  before
that  time  wish  you  joy  of  a  little  one,  and  earnestly
desire  to  hear  how  your  lady  does.  My  humble
service  to  my  friends  at  St.  Albans.
I  am,  Reverend  Sir,

Your  most  obUged,  most  affectionate,

and  most  humble  Servant,

Phi  UP  Doddridge.
TO  ME.  WRIGHT.
REV.  SIR,  November  ir,  1795.
