London Novr. 15, 1794 Saty . afternoon
For greater privacy, and that I might abscond with less danger
of interruption or observance instead of setting out the Park way,
I went Dartmouth Street way — Every body knows what nuts
it is to the Lord to disappoint the designs, great and small, of
any body that has the misfortune to bear any relation to such a
reprobate as thee. As I was brushing by the casa del illustrissimo
Signore Borghese, out brushes the illustrissimo himself - I looked as
hard as I could drive the opposite way - that would not serve one
he happend to be in condescending mood, and would seem after me
and catch hold of me by the elbow. When he had me fast, nothing
would serve him but he would take me to the his new Office, to
shew me the lions thereof - We had not been in his rooms two
minutes when up came a Messenger saying that Colonel Lenox was
below, desiring to speak to him - "Tell him I can't see him" -
What hindred the great man's seeing him ? - He was too busily engaged with
me, explaining to me what I never asked him to explain the
difference between a Lettre de Chancellere and a Lettre de
Cabinet such as our own most gracious King, as he assured me (God
bless
