The Fellows of magdalen College presuming that your Ladyship may probably be unacquainted with the form of a nomination to the Mastership have desired me to transmit to your Ladyship the enclosed copy, which is transcribed from Lord Effingham's nomination & is to be wrote upon a sheet of stamp paper. The Society in general beg leave to return their sincerest acknowledgements to your Ladyship for the favourable regard you was pleased to express for them & I am more particularly obliged to request your Ladyship's acceptance of my most humble thanks for the great kindness & civilities you showed me when I had the honour of waiting upon your ladyship last week. The Society present their most dutiful respects to your Ladyship & beg that you will be pleased to order your Steward to et m know as soon as you have nominated a Master of this College, tht we may be in readiness to receive & to pay all proper respect to the Gentleman you shall please to appoint. I have the honour to be,
Madam,
Your Ladyship's most obliged & most obedient humble servant,
L. Eliot
