B. Park Monday June 20 1791.
Your Letter found us deliberating whether
you would like better to come here
with or without your Brother, for I
take it for granted you do not mean
to give up Bowood for the Summer -
We reserve till then telling you all
we think about the Col. But there
must be nothing of Old Kindnesses
in little or in great Character - Tho'
I do not pretend to rival Mr. Pitt, I
am enough of a Negotiator to know
the Danger of suffering Principles
to be Lodg'd - In the mean time
we are much oblig'd to you for your
communication, some part of which
I have no doubt is true & certainly
is interesting - I have reason to doubt
about another part which regards
C. Fox, which indeed can't be. Adieu
with many sincere complimts. from the
Lady's which I know to be more valuable
than Old or New Kindnesses elsewhere
