years of age, my friend wishes to know whether he is living, & where he is if he is dead he
my friend requests a Certificate of it may be sent over hither —
as my friend is one I have often obliged to myself, & upon
your Account, I hope you will furnish me with the
best Account you can of this Coll Delafontaine & as
soon as you can.

X some of the Great under the present from
their private attention to Messrs Fox, Burk & Sheridan & their
Reinventions of the improbability of the King recovering went
over to their hasty & deserted Mr Pitt &c among whom I
am sorry to acquaint you was your friend Sir James
Harris, notwithstanding thro' Mr Pitts Recommendation
the King just before his illness had created him a
Peer by the Title of Lord Malmesbury, who has now
given up his Embassy to Holland, where he had
acquired great credit by the share he had in negotiating
the late Treaty concluded between our Court & the King
of Russia & the States General, If the Prince had been
appointed Regent wch wd been here the case had the
King's illness continued a fortnight longer his Lordship
it is thought wod have either been sent Ambassador
to Paris or been made Secretary of State here at home
but he has now lost every thing I mean every
kind of appointment & has nothing to do but to
retire, as a private gentleman, from all public offices
indeed never were such numbers mortified by
their disappointment of principal play owing to
the Kings sudden & happy recovery as a Total Change
of Administration wod certainly have taken place.
Lord Howe I suppose you have heard has been
out of the Admiralty & succeeded by Lord Chatham Brook
& Mr Pit, assisted by your old acquaintance Lord
Hood who has been as it w in effect efficient First Lord
of the Admiralty by being the only Seaman at that
Board, & without whose assistance Ld Chatham wod hardly
be enabled to preside as he has done & now is
likely to continue to do so as, by their being no change
that was fully intended in wch case your friend had
Admiral Pigot wod have been placed at the Admiralty.
Board

This my dear Sam have I endeavoured to give you
for your amusement an account of our Political & other
occurances, in a Country to wch you have long been a Stranger
