There arising some Doubt, when the
inclosedenclosed came to hand, for whom it might
be designed, we ventured to open it; in
which we hope not to have greatly trans-
gressed. One particular there is in it,
which, I confess, I was much pleased to
read, which was, to see LdLord Caryl so
well spoken of, &and who well deserves
all that is said of him; for he is real-
ly a fine Gentleman, a person of Courage,
&and a Man of Business too. I have had
many Conversations with him since the
year 46. He has not, poor Gentleman,
been the best OeconomistEconomist, but has ever
been devoted to his Master’s Service, qmwhom
he attended at Gravellin, when Count Sax-
e’s Disposition was in hand at Dunkirk in
the year forty three. So much for my
good Friend LdLord Carryll, whom I great-
ly honour.

I believe, I mentioned to your a new E-
dition of Mr Brett’s Considerations,
which he was so obliging as to transcribe
for me. I perceive, he has made some
alterations from the first Copy. As 2111 (3011)
an Aberdeen-Ship is likely to be yethe
speediest &and most safe Conveyance, I
purpose sending the MSManuscript to Mr Innes
by the first Opportunity, who will con-
vey it to you, Sir, by the first Oppor-
tunity, &and I hope, you or he will
take in Hand to give it a proper
Answer. You must agree it between you.

I am glad, the Countess has got a
proper Chaplain. Our best Respects,
we pray, to her Ladyship.”
