dated: Brighton 29 Oct. in which are these words — "I have heard from

"hope has some of your plans."

am much obliged to our friend's attentive Zeal, I can do no otherwise

punctual obedience to any commands with which you may think
fit to honour me in relation to the subject. With regard to any

of the County, should my humble endeavours prove successful in
its service, my ambition goes to no less then the becoming, under
the auspices of Sir Charles Bunbury, Jailor, as Lord Kenyon is
