I am deep in America with Maudit, passed four hours with him yesterday, and I shall dine and spend the day tete-a-tete with him next Monday. He squeaks out a great deal of sense and knowledge, though after all I mean to think, perhaps to speak, for myself. I likewise (at his house) conversed with Governor Hutchinson, 1 with whom I mean to get acquainted. Tremlett I will try to see in May, but his book is not worth the 18 pence he gave for it. I mean barring the good Spanish. That Spanish is in ...truth the original, composed by one Miguel de Luna in the sixteenth century, as a pretended translation from an imaginary Arabic Manuscript of General Tarikh. 2 The History is a Romance mixed up with gross improbabilities and anachro- nisms. Adieu. Young Cooke 3 of Turin dined with me to-day. I thought it a civility to Denham, though I believe only half the house will thank me for it. He is a very line Gentleman. Adieu. I salute My Lady. Do you salute Madame ma Mere, Sunday morning, tell her that I am sorry for her Rheumatism, have taken care of the Lees, and will epistolize her Monday or Tuesday.
