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.
As for me, whether
the company at
Bowood receive
the very addition of
so insignificant
a as additions
your Lship
speaks of, and
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
in my power.

It is necessary
I should explain
myself, but as
I wish it is my wish not to explain do so
myself by
halves, I must defer that task
for some a
while it is a
task I will not
attempt at present,
having
other letters to
write by this post
& being called to
town tomorrow
morning by engagements
which will
hold me for some
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.'

Foreseeing that


it would be impossible
for me
to find them for to explaining
myself fully
by this post, having
other letters to
write and unwilling
to explain myself
by halves,
it may be some
days before I can
set pen to paper
again, being
obliged to go to
town</p>

Having other letters
to write by this post
being called to
Happening to have
town tomorrow by previous engagements
which call to me
to town and
for a
few days, I
will not attempt
to enter upon an
explanation which
I foresee the time
would not allow
me to conclude.
In the meantime
I would
not let slip a
post without
