_Cradock_--I should like to know whether the MSS. of Randle Holme, of
Chester, 1670, which afterwards were penes Dr. Latham, are still
accessible? Nichols refers to them as his authority for Cradock's pedigree,
as laid down in his _Leicestershire_ (vol. iv. part ii. p. 807.).

I beg to encloze ethe following scraps, purposely written on slips, ethat ethe
one may be destroyed and not ethe oether if you should ?ink fit so to do, and
for eaze ov printing.
Pleaze to respect my or?ography--a _beginning_ to a better system--if you
can and will. Ethe types required will only be ethe Eth, eth, and ?, ?, ov our
noble Anglo-Saxon moether-tongue, letterz in common use almost down to ethe
time ov _Shakspeare_!
If you _will_ not be charmed, ov course you are at liberty to change it.
