Iohn Conduitt Esq^r

Member of Parliament

London

Good Sir

I received yours. you may please to pay that small sum to M^r Bettesworth bookseller in Pater noster row. I have heard of some letters of Sir Isaacs to a friend near Colsterworth when he was young in the university. I shall give you an account of them if there be any thing that may prove historical. the reverend M^r: Annesley minister of Ingoldby was the person who promised to get me the letters to D^r. Covel you will have an opportunity of seeing him personally at the bar of your house on a complaint of Sir G– Heathe – about suing a tenant of his, before any body could possibly know he was his servant         I have heard of your dissensions at the royal society. I shall send D^r. Rutty next week an account of a roman mosaic pavement discovered near us last week. You may please to talk with M^r Annesley & if you befriend him, it will be a good act, in opposing a great piece of violence. I am Good Sir

Your most obliged & obedient servant

W^m: Stukeley
