B.Bishop G. “London, Novr 12 1772. A Friend
lately arrived from Scotland tells me he read
Monsr D’Argenson’s Letter in a News-Pa-
per in your Country. However, I send it
here inclosedenclosed. There have been several
interesting Things, at times, in this paper.
Does the Middlesex-Journal, an Evening
Paper, come to Edr? ‘Tis a wicked Paper
for the most part, yet now &and then there are
Particulars in it worth reading.

Mrs Hope is turned up here again; she
tells me her Son is some where about Hunt-
ly on a Mission. Pray, enquire of Mr Leith
about this young Man; his Mother tells me
he has seen Mr Leith. I want some In-
formation in this Affair, to know how to
rule my Conduct in case of Events.

The inclosedenclosed Scrap is a paragraph
cut out of a Letter, which I had the other
Day from Mr Brett, to which I shall only
add, the Book mentioned in it, shall be
sent along with Mr Pennant’s Tour by
the first safe Conveyance.”

Copy of the Scrap of a Paragraph
from Mr Brett.
“I have also sent The first &and second
Book of Discipline together with some
Acts of the General Assemblies, &and c. 1641.
which when Opportunity serves I must
beg you to send to good Bp Forbes. I
believe it to be a very scarce pamphlet,
having never ^ met with another Copy, nor so much as seen the Title in any Cata-
logue. ‘Tis in the middle of several
other pamphlets without a Cover. It should
not go in such a Garb, did I live near a
Book-binder to have it better dressed.
Please to give my humble respects to him,
&and beg his Excuse for sending it in such an
uncouth Condition.”
