Dear Sir,
As Mr Wallop is very desirous of being invested with the Mastership of Magdalen as soon as may be, I with great readiness transmit my resignation of it to you. It is an office, which, I hope will afford him much more pleasure, than it ever gave to,
Dear Sir,
Your most humble, and obedient servant
George Sandby
