Dear Sam
Yesterday This afternoon came a letter to me from Baron
written yesterday in which are the following words
"I have called this evening at Ld Shelburne's, and
"mentioned Mr Samuel Bentham to his Lordship, who has
"promised me to write to Count Czernichew in his favour.
"Lord Shelburne desired me to inform Mr Bentham that
"he should be glad to see him at Shelburne house on
"Thursday or Friday morning at 9 o'clock, to talk with
"him about his intended journey and to give him the
"letter of recommendations."
I have just called at the Baron's to tell
him how you were circumstances in point of time and
distance by which he would see it was next to impossible
you should comply with either appointment: to
desire him to inform his Lordship accordingly, & to let
me know what he could collect of the probable time of
his Lordship's stay in town, & that I imagined you
would grudge if it were necessary in his Lordship
in the country. The Baron was not at home,
so I left a letter, to the above effect, mentioning likewise
that I should write to you at both places to night
Portsmouth and Southampton. My fear was, that his
Lordship
