_Tuesday's forenoon, February 2d, 1748._
[Sidenote: 1748 2 Feb.]
I paid my respects to the Countess of Dundonald and Lady Mary
Cochran, when I delivered back to the Countess the attested copy of
O'Neille's Journal, and likewise gave to her ladyship the copy I
had promised of Gradyne's account. I then asked the Countess if her
ladyship remembered at what time she had received the attested copy
from O'Neille. Her ladyship was pleased to answer that as she had
received a letter along with the Journal from Captain O'Neille, so
she could fully satisfy me about that; and going to a cabinet her
ladyship fetched O'Neille's letter out of one of the drawers and
showed me the date of it, which was as follows: 'Berwick, August
30th, 1747.'
