June 26. Your most humble <br>
Servt Andrew Marvell<br>

Sir 	This went to                                                   
day by ship for Portsmith<br>	
				
this being the ninth day, I learne your <br>

son is in as good a condition as can<br>

be hoped for in that distemper wch<br>

news I have gladly cathd hold on<br>

to present you therewith my otherwise <br>

insignificant service. G[iles]: Strange-<br>

ways is very jolly of being Privy Coun-<br>

sellour. John L. must not be a Lord<br>

till he has Servd out the next Session<br>

With us. For undoubtedly he will now<br>

availe among the Commons more then<br>

ever. The L: Arundel of Tireice<br>

do not heare himself sworn though he <br>

has the vanity to think himselfe as fit<br>

for the Privy Counsell as Giles. You<br>

know that Shaftesbury Candish & Dik<br>

Nuport are forbidden the Court. But<br>

Scaramuccio acts in the stall at Whitehall<br>

and every man pays his mony. The Blade<br>

in the privy garden last Wensday night<br>

broke all the cureous diall to pieces &<br>

cut the Sentinell that always attended<br>

it. Pray Sr when you see the good Doctor<br>

forget me not to him.   I am Sir, <br>
