Letter from the Countess of Portsmouth to George Sandby about the the Mastership
Transcript
I believe Sir you'll be a little surprised at receiving a letter from me, but an incident has happened that I wished you to be apprised of. You may probably have heard that the Mastership of Magdalene College in Cambridge is vacant by the death of Dr ____ & I believe you know the presentation is in my gift & that I always designed it for Mr B[arton] W[allop] but as he is too young to take it, my next thought must be to fix on a person to hold it for him that is worthy to fill such a preferment and to do honour to the College & be an example worthy his in me & action & indeed I do not know anyone so likely to answer these purposes as yourself, & therefore if you think the Mastership worth your acceptance on the terms mentioned I must beg to see you as soon as possible that the vacancy may be filled immediately
