B.G. “London, Octr 2. 1772. I have here
“before me abundance of Things to be acknow-
“ledged, which you have been at the pains
“to communicate; &and to begin with what you are

(1974)
“pleased to call a Gazette, which was
“very entertaining; a small X Article of qchwhich
“perhaps, you may have seen in one of
“our London-News-Papers; the Rest may
“follow in due time. Monsr D’Argenson’s
“Lettr+Letter to Van Hoy was published in the
“Gazetteer of the 30th ult. A Print of
“Louisa, I think, is put in a Way, since
“yours was received; &and I have lately heard
“by a Gentleman just come from abroad,
“that he saw at Paris a fine large print
“done for the K.King her Husband.

“As for any thing for poor Mr Sangster

“Encouragement to hope for it. The paper
“designed for the London-Chronicle, in
“my humble Opinion, tho’though exceedingly
“well drawn up, yet must by no means
“appear in publickpublic Light. I have Thoughts
“of making an Experiment by it in ano-
“ther Way, tho’though neither through Lord
“North, nor LdLord Mansfield; which, God
“willing, shall be attempted next Week;
“but, alas! with very slender Hope of
“Success.”
