Transcript
Sir,
I return you many thanks for your obliging attention in regard to poor Mr Wallop's death; who seems to have died from neglect of himself having been very unwell at times with faintings & violent oppressions upon his stomach without applying for relief.
If not too much trouble I shall esteem it a favour if you could give me a rough sketch of the profits & emoluments of the Master of Magdalen, how they arise & how they become due & at what period [see MACD/1/1/27].
When I inform you that I have offered the Mastership to my very old & amiable friend Mr Peckard I do it out of respect to your situation in the College, & to the character you have maintained in that office & I do assure you that you are the first person to whom i have conveyed my intentions. If Mr Peckard should accept, which I trust he will, yourself & the College will have a very worthy & ingenious gentleman to live with & whom other qualities will I am sure endear him to you all.
I could have wished indeed on this occasion that Mr P. had been a Cambridge man but I trust every liberal mind will overlook this when put in competition with the rights due to a sincere & uninterrupted friendship of above thirty years standing.
I am etc etc etc etc
