Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift, D. D., Dean of St. Patrick's Dublin, Vol. 15 of 19: Arranged by Thomas Sheridan, A. M. With Notes, Historical and Critical
This was a most delicious day and my shin being past danger, I walked like lightning above two hours in the park. We have generally one fair day, and then a great deal of rain for three or four days together. All things are at a stop in parliament for want of Mr: Harley; they cannot stir an inch without him in their most material affairs: and'we fear by the caprice of Radcliffe, who will admit none but his own surgeon, he has not been well looked after. I dined at' an alehouse with Mr. Lewis, but had his wine. Don't you begin to see the flowers and blossoms of the field? How busy should I now be at Laracor NO news of your box? I hope you have it, and are this minute drinking the chocolate, and that the smell Of the Brazil tobacco has not affected it. Iwould be glad to know whether you like it, because I would send you more by people that are now every day thinking of going to Ireland; therefore pray tell me, and tell me soon and I will have the strong box.
