Sends a dish of perch, which are very scarce; advice of a soldier who quartered in "our town" when the King was last at Oxford about the having hop-poles sufficiently long, those in Baskervile’s hop-plantation at the quarry at Bayworth being too short.

Written in a totally different hand from those letters in fols. 58 and 60. It is pasted on a leaf on which H. Baskervile has made memoranda of some impressments, etc., with a bill.

Moridge, or Mooride, was a house in Stanton Harcourt parish, Oxon.
