From B.Bishop G.Gordon

“London, DecrDecember 14. 1773.
You
ask my Opinion, Sir, of the bold Device in the
Westminster Magazine. To me it appears
plain, an earnest Expectation of Something,
which both you &and I heartily wish.
John Roy Stuart’s Psalm, &and the anecdote re-
lating
to Dr Bluff, were both offered to se-
veral
of the News-Papers; but neither of
them has yet appeared; nor will they
now at this Distance, I presume.
I heard lately an Account of the amiable
pair; they were both very well.
Gask &and his Lady were detained on the
Coast a good While by contrary Winds;
but I trust long ere this, they are safely
arrived at Lisbon. Pray, when you have
Occasion, let our best Respects be pre-
sented
to the excellent old Lady.”
