Summary:
Thanks for Smith's letter of 31 December. His wife and daughter [Mariamne Johnes] have severe colds, and he has been ill, too, but by following medical rules of cupping, blistering, and Calomel, they have gained relief. Hopes to see Smith in London in the spring.
Has long heard of the treasures of Holkham, [Norfolk, home of Thomas William Coke] but doubts likelihood of his ever visiting. Has amused himself with the exiled King of Sweden's father's work, and Madame des Duffand's letter to Lord Oxford. High winds and heavy rain but no snow.
