has been used to see of him, But this could not take place without
your getting him to your house: and that you could not do without
offering him a dinner; which possibly though not probably, by a
stretch of civility, he might enable himself to accept. This you
might think it necessary (though I should not) to be at some expence about; and at any rate it must occasion a good deal of
trouble and inconvenience to my Mother; especially as at this season
the house is not in order. After all it could not necessify a
farthing, unless it were with a view to any ideas he might be
able and disposed to get convey'd
to the Countess's friends. But as to
that matter, it is not very improbable he may be disposed of himself
to convey such ideas as he may imagine you would wish to have
convey'd: and be that as it may, I think it quite as well for us
to follow Jarvis' example, and let things speak for themselves, & represent
themselves as they are.
In answer to your questions about Pole Carew, it was not in
his way or know to hoard anything more from the Prince his cousin, and
still less was it in his way to write on that subject to the Prince. The
Prince was then gone to Scotland, from whence, if I recollect right, he
was not to return for this month or more to come. The Countess in that letter
which the Prince received, did not mention my Brother's name: and
Carew, as I thought the letter which you saw of his to me mentioned, took
care not to give him that information.
It has occurred to me that Mr Fraser's letter to you might possibly
be of the greatest use to Sam at Petersburgh: the fact of his appointment
if they knew there how the matters stands, will prove nothing more to them than the
opinion entertained of him by Sir James. It is from Frazer's letter only they could learn
that some how or other a similar opinion is entertained of him here. If you concur with
me, I wish you would send it directed to my Brother under cover to Mr Wilson of Lincoln's Inn.
