Letter 3d

My Lord
My last concluded with a sort of half-promise
I now proceed to the fulfillment of it, and with as much punctuality as if it had been a whole
one. Sir — you are too good... Not at all my Lord;
I will be judged by the Printer, who was the person
I had in view. Indeed, Sir? and nobody
else? So you are not read, and it is upon
this supposition that you write?
Something like
it, my Lord. The reader I am sure of is the Printer:
the reader I am not sure of is the gentleman, if
there be such a one, who, on petty occasions like
the present, has it in charge to read and think
for your Lordship, or at any rate to read.

On the 19th of August indeed your Lordship's
own "mind" was to have been "applied to the subject"—
and that "at all events". On the 19th of August your
Lordship's own "endeavours" were to have been employed
to get something settled, and "settled before
"the meeting of Parliament." Parliament met the
16th of November last this is the 18th instant of December magna otia coeli all
the time. Yet if Mr Secretary Vansittart is to be
believed, Lord Pelham is the Atlas on whose shoulders
the world rests, or at least this part of it. Shaken
off by these superior shoulders the best that can have
happened to it is, that in its fall it should have
been caught by some some subordinate ones.
