Being sure of his joy to hearing how admirably his eyes are going: his having suffered a trial of one month's on horseback, with many changes in weather, without the slightest effect on his eye: his no longer needing an eye-glass, although having spectacles for writing and reading as precaution: receipt of a few lines from Lady Repton, a month spent most pleasantly iunder Waller and Lady Howe's roof, which he supposes must be perfection with all the building finished: being pleased to hear of the King's health and spirits being so good, having felt anxious about him in his troubles: fears of all not being over, with possible storms to encounter when Parliament meets: proof of his firmness of character to the Whigs and their over-bearing and arrogant demands.
