This is the 2d letter, my dear Sam, I have
written to you at Mr Han. The former went
last Tuesday se'nnight (the 10th) recommended
like this to the care of Baron Klopman.
Yesterday came two letters of your's at once:
the 1st dated Hamburgh Oct.19:th the 2d,
Berlin Oct:r 2d.
2.
My eyes are so well recover'd, that ever
since my last I have been using them
without ceremony. I have the satisfaction
of assuring you that altogether I am very
comfortable, & very well satisfied with things
in general: the one half of me sitting at
home by it's fire side prosecuting it's
work very composedly with an assured
prospect of it's timely completion, while the
other is rambling abroad in quest of adventures,
amusing, polhing and improving
itself.
Ld Storm for some little time
been Secretary for the Northern department.
Benjamin Langlois (pronounced
Langley) who was his secretary at Vienna,
and has always been on the most
intimate footing with him, is under
him. This appointment I suppose will
not have the effect of super-seding your
official recommendations: but if it does,
no matter, since if there should be occasion
they may easily be revived &
re-inforced. Lind is upon such terms
with my Lord (through Ld Mansfield's
means indeed) that if Langlois had not
been the man, he would. Langlois he knows
still better: and Douglas knows him intimately.
Douglas, I am satisfied, would be
glad to take any occasion to be of use to
you. He and I & Wilson form a pretty constant
---page break---
constant trio. You stand very high with him
I can assure you, especially since your
late adventures, several of which have been
communicated to him, & the rest will be.
Quant a votre Contesse politique & la
bonne femme qui s'est faite decap
pour vous faire plaisir, tout le mond
ainsi que lui, en est charmè, on ne
peut pas davantage.
