Saturday, June 5. Armagh.--I walked over the fine improvements which the Primate
has made near his lodge. The ground is hardly two miles round, but it is laid out to the best
advantage. Part is garden, part meadow, part planted with shrubs or trees of various kinds.
The house is built of fine white stone and is fit for a nobleman. He intends to carry away a
bog which lies behind it and have a large piece of water in its place. He intends also to improve
the town greatly and to execute many other grand designs; I doubt too many even for a
Primate of Ireland who is above seventy years old!
