Summary
Responding to his inquiry as to whether the letters are in his possession, which they are not; expressing his frustration with the matter and resignation to "give it quite up"; conveying his regret that Swift will have to endure the same negative attention as a result of the publication; congratulating him and Lady Orrery on their new baby.
