About six months ago my Lord Orrery desired me to recommend the son of an old faithful servant , who is still his domestick in England , one Catherine Reyly , to be admitted into the blue coat Hospital . I applyd accordingley to the Late Lord Mayor very frequently , but could never obtain that
justice . " I have been these many years a governor of that hospital , and have recommended fewer boys than perhaps any other governor , and my Lord Orrery , as he is a most valuable person in all respects , as veil as a great friend to this kingdom , hath a good title to recommend for bo small a favour . Tho boy ' s name is Edward Reilly . I havo sent him with his brother to attend , and get one of tho servants to deliver this letter to your lordship , and I hope you will please to order his admittance this day . He hath been already measured , and is tall enough for the standard .
"I wish your lordship success in your administration , equal if possiblo , to your deserts , and am with the greatest respect , my lord , your lordship ' s most obedient and humblo servant , " Jojtath . Swift . " " Deanery Houso , October 7 th , 1737 . "
