B.Bishop G.Gordon

“London, Jan.January 28. 1772.
I must tell you, Sir,
“that SrSir John did not call upon me in passing. How-
“ever
, I have learned, that the Liberty indulged him
“was owing to the Duke of Queensberry. Yes, I heard,
“his Master had been at Paris, &and looked exceeding
“well &and fresh after having travelled a thousand
“Miles in Seven Days.— I know, you are always
“glad to hear of Cousin Peggie’s Welfare; there-
“fore
, have the pleasure to tell you, I was fa-
“voured
with a kind Remembrance from her
“not long ago; when she was very well.”
