I do not intend to oppose either of them they being my friends, but being moved by some friends of very good note to write for my self. I beg the favour of you & the rest of my friends in the University to reserve a vote for me till I either write to you again or make you a visit, wchwhich will be in a short time, & you will thereby very much oblige

YorYour most humble and most obedient servant Is. Newton. 2.
