Autograph letter signed : Utrecht, to The Duke of Leeds, 1707 February 15.

Apologizing that his report is a week late but explaining that it was due to a quarrel between one of their footmen and the servant of a German gentlemen which resulted in a sword wound to the footman; relating the subsequent medical attention to the footman in treating his wound; reporting that the boys are in good health and progressing very well in their riding and that the riding master "...does not question, but that their great proficiency under him will bring many Gentlemen out of England to his academy...They dance as well, if not better, then any Gentleman in this town (where we have several Princes of Germany). 'Tis a wonder to see how well My Lord Danby draws who I was affrayd, would not advance so much in this as his Brother, because he has not so good hand in writing as Lord Peregrine. As to the lute his lordship learns as fast as any body can do, & will certainly play as well as any person of his quality can pretend;" explaining that their progress in mathematics isn't what he expected as their arithmetic skills were weak; reporting on their progress in French and Latin and adding that "Lord Peregrine keeps to his book as constantly as one can wish for; but not with so much application as his Brother;" briefly reporting on finances.
