I. Letters: To Roach (addressed as "Dear Son of Love") from Jane Lead, 31 Aug 1697
signed by the writer.
"We have obtain’d our licence for Westmorland [House], where there was a very great concourse of people on Sunday; and though there was some molestation from boys and from some rude fellows, yet there was a sober sort of company very attentive and inquisitive". Wishes he would move for leave to come to London.
Subjoined is a letter from F. L. [Francis Lee] introducing the Baron of Knyphausen, who comes [to Oxford] for two or three days; "bring him into the company of Mr. Conyers". Desires him to be exceeding cautious in his conversation, for spies are many, and it is suspected that something may have come to the archbishop’s ears.
