Mr Fitzherbert and I are as good friends as can be. He does not seem
to be warm in his affections but I believe he would take some
pains to serve me, and he tells me the present change in the
ministry has brought in many of his friends.

Carew seems very much disposed to serve be of use to me; but
of this as well as of his power to do so you can be the best
judge.

How do you stand now with Ld Melbourne?
probably he would be a better friend while he is out of the
Ministry than if were in it.

Sir James Harris would I believe give himself some trouble
to serve me and I should think he would be able.
I must give you an extract of a long letter I received from
Miss Harris in answer to the one I sent her through your
hands.

"I heard you mentioned at a very blue meeting as a"
"wonderfull genius who had been at the head of Westminster"
"school at 13 years old, + I added your tallents and latter"
"acquirements, so altogether you appeared a wonderfull"
"pile of knowledge & information and whenever you return"
"to England you must expect to have your brain picked"
"if you are so unfortunate as to fall amidst Blues, since"
"my poor head was put to the question ordinaire and"
"extraordinaire for a considerable time."
+ I suppose this was you.

As Ld Howe is now at the Admiralty I should like much to
know how he is disposed towards me. I had thoughts of writing him a
letter but I must first dress up some of my Naval Economy ideas
