But since I believe I have learnt the true matter of fact That these Gentlemen was brought into the presence of the Queen and did receive this equivocal assurance from her that she hdid at present no intentions to make any more alterations in the Ministry and that all reports that tended to the lessen- ing- the Credit of the nation proceeded from enemies of the Government, and as good subjects she did not doubt but they wou'd assure their friends in the City she had nothing more at heart then the Good of her People, and now 'tis agreed on all hands that neither they nor [the Queen ?] men- tioned any thing concerning a Parliament.

My dearist and best of children, I never remember such colde wether at this time of the year, which I fear will make corn grow dear ; it is rissen a little. I told you a great lye in a former letter, that thear was a great many of the young men of this town in Newgate, but thear was but twoe, most of the rest run away ; one of those twoe dyed thear, and yesterday the other was quitted, which was your poor glazier's son, whoe is grown very poor, being laime this great while. Its said Sir Charls Dunckom made the jury at Tedinton bring it in murder, but the jury at London brought it in but chanc medly. Al this town hate Dunckome and Secretary Johnson, for he said he would have them all hanged
[P.S.] Just now I hear Dunckom is soe much concerned for the death of that poor good young man that dyed in Newgate, that he has been a freind to this and bayled him his own self.
