To B.Bishop G.Gordon
Yours of the 14th
instant is now lying before me. I am Heart
&and Hand with You in making the best Use
we can of some certain Folks, without Trust,
in their own Way. However, I cannot fail
in remarking to you, that I could easily dis-
cover in our Common Friend an Aversion
at seeing Sandy but in your Presence. A
Report is current &and prevails here, that
Cousin Peggie is actually married, &and very
honourably too. Though I most heartily
wish for this Event, yet I will not believe
it, till I have it from your Hands. I need
not tell you, how agreeable such a Piece
of Intelligence will prove to you our Com-
mon Friend &and his valuable Connections.”
