'Mr George Ballard, of Campden in Gloucestershire, a young ingenious Taylor, whom I have formerly mentioned, being now in Oxford, he yesterday called upon me, and his youngest Brother (for he hath two Sisters and four Brothers living, whereof himself is the eldest son) was with him, and we spent the evening together.
