He explains that he has resolved to 'preserve a Correspondence with those I knew before', and to 'form a new one with those whose extensive Character only made 'em known to me'. He hopes to pay Ellis 'in Current Coin; which I hope you will comply with, & speedily lay your demands on' Murdin. Between 1740 and 1759 Murdin published his valuable 'Collection of State Papers relating to affairs in the reign of Elizabeth from 1571 to 1596: transcribed from original papers and other authentic memorials left by W. Cecill Lord Burghley, and reposited in the library at Hatfield House.' Johnson stated, in Boswell's Life, that the 'most literary conversation' he ever enjoyed was at the table of 'Jack Ellis, a money scrivener behind the Royal Exchange', at whose house he at one point dined twice a week.
