From John Farquharson of Aldlerg.

“Dunkerque, May 29. 1775. My old
Friend
is still in Florence; nor do I be-
lieve
, he will return home, until he see
whether or not he will be welcome. His
principal Servant
has left him, I might
venture to add his most faithful Friend,
not by any falling out, but for Family-
Business
; &and too much fatigue. All you
sent me was forwarded conform To De-
sire
, which gave a good dealldeal of Plea-
sure
to those it was designed for.”
