“Your welcome &and most acceptable Fa-
vour of the 2d instant is now be-
fore me; but, why make any Apology
for making open what you sent in-
closedenclosed, when, ab initio, I begged you
would do so with every such Letter, as
I knew well they will contain someygsomething
to your good Liking. After Perusal,
you need not seal, as such come under
Frank from you.

Lord Caryll! much am I delighted
with his amiable Character, especially
as being vouched by you. I hear his 2112 (3012) Lordship has still a good Reversion.
You never mentioned before the new
Edition of Mr Brett’s Considerations;
but I am sorry, they are still such as need
an Answer. I wish, You or Bob Keith had
favoured me with a Copy of the pamph-
let, now, I suppose, burnt in facie solis.

It makes a strange Noise hereabouts as
singular &and unusual.

The Countess, an extraordinary person

Liking. O for many such! She is de-
lighted with the Character of Lord
Caryll. March 9. 1775.”
