L.Lady G.Gask Mar.March 22. 1766.

I was favour-
ed
with yours of FebFebruary. 23. which I
would thanked you for ere now, but wait-
ed
to hear from my Correspondent, ytthat
I might have something to say. Last
Night I had a Letter from my Friend,
who says, for one Piece of News, that
the Son of the late Chevalier de St George
is gone to Rome, &and with him three Scots
Gentlemen, all of his own Religion,
that is, Protestants. He has often been
heard to say, it was the Religion he 1896 (1896)
would live &and die in.
