Copy —— from the said Lady Gask.
London, Wed.Wednesday July 6. 1763.
D.Dear Sir, My Companion &and I arrived
safe &and in good health, thank God,
Sunday the 3d, about two o’Clock.
The continual hurry I have been in
with my affairs, making &and receiving
Visits, has prevented my writing to
you sooner. Besides, I was willing to see
the good honest Bishop, who did me
the Favour to come here to my
Lodgings this Morning. We had a
long Conversation. He told me, he had
seen one, that saw my Cousin in
May, &and that she was in very good
health, &and even better than for some
time past. He approves much of her
Marriage, &and, in his opinion, one of a
good Family in her ow^nown Country might
suit her very well, as matters stand.
The DutchessDuchess of Dowglass has done her
the honour of a Visit. He seem’dseemed very
well pleased with your X little Paper. The Bish-
op says, he does not think Mr Whytt a fit
Man for a Chaplain. He would prefer Mr
Maitland, notwithstanding what I told him.
