Summary
Indicating that he received favorable word about his entire family's health today while at Bath; describing a narrative he has written about the whole affair that he hopes to convince booksellers to publish along with a few of Swift's and Orrery's letters, in hopes of passively suggesting the dubious nature of the unauthorized edition.
