I am not a little pleased to as you may imagine, Delighted as I am to to find the
Bill is safe, and scarcely less I am a little less so to think that the safety of it is owing
in a manner solely to Your Grace. This I hear in so many words from my
Brother; and this is all I hear from him: he promises pretends
he has not time to write but promises me against we meet a
nervous history of sudden turns and surprizes. So thick and so
thin drawn as the curtain has been in this business how fortunate has it
been for us to have a friend, to whom a peep behind it could not be refused.

Afar what is past, it is something more than form, and
by no means out of the sphere of credibility, to say that I am
with the most affectionate gratitude Your Grace's most obliged

Q.S.P. 3 o'clock
Well — the Bill is safe, but as it has been botched, the new
Bill which of course must be brought in can not pass till Thursday,
on which day the Duke tells me I may consider it as secure.
He takes the whole merit of its salvation: so much the better: the
more he takes of it, the more it shews him to be pleased at the
thoughts of serving you. Lord Spencer it seems has talked very
adversely: so much the better again: he has set the Duke against
him, and the Ministry eke also. If I may believe
the Duke, whose idea is much corroborated by circumstances, Lord Spencer had
gained the Chancellor, who afterwards after having Pitt's fist held
to his throat, was forced to turn against Ld Spencer and give
him a smacked arse as if they had been at daggers drawn from
the beginning. He knocked down a parcel of mischievous amendments
of Ld Spencer's, admitting such only as I hope will
prove harmless ones. I think we shall have the Land yet: at
the worst we shall be so much injured as to have the injurers at
our feet

Now begun and cast away. Raines tells me the money warrant will be
in readiness either in the course of the day or at the worst on Monday
Adieu I go to meet Dumont Romilly & Chauvet at an Inn by Putney Bridge
