My Lord
I owe your
Lordship my humble acknowledgements
and
thanks for two
letters, the D. de
le . received
some time since
and Sir J. Parnels
received this instant.
I beg
leave to congratulate
your Lordship
and the Ladies
on your safe
return which
I heard of but this
morning from
Mr Vaughan.

the company at
Bowood receive
the very addition of
so insignificant
a as additions
your Lship

whether I am
ever more to enjoy
a pleasure the loss of which I can
not think of without
the deepest
concern depends
upon contingencies
unhappily not

days — In the
meantime, I
have the honour
to be with all
respect
I would not let slip
a post without this earliest opportunity
acknowledging the
favours above
spoken of mentioned as a
proof of the respect
with which I have
the honour to be
My L.
Your Lsh.
much obliged &
most ob. b. s.'
