London, August 12. They write from Cambridge that the head
of a certain college has lately lost his interest very much
there, through his pride, avarice, and other priestly
endowments.
The poetry concludes the letter, which is too long to insert
here.
  Thus P--sts by strict rules
  May be call'd the edge-tools,
  Which the people, poor fools,
  Are forbidden to touch.
. . . [111 more lines, signed]  J.F.
