My Lord
I owe your
Lordship my humble acknowledgements
and
thanks for two
letters, the D. de
le . received
some time since
and Sir J. Parnels
received this instant.
I beg
leave to congratulate
your Lordship
and the Ladies
on your safe
return which
I heard of but this
morning from
Mr Vaughan.
As for me, whether
the company at
Bowood receive
the very addition of
so insignificant
a as additions
your Lship
speaks of, and
whether I am
ever more to enjoy
a pleasure the loss of which I can
not think of without
the deepest
concern depends
upon contingencies
unhappily not
in my power.
---page break---
It is necessary
I should explain
myself, but as
I wish it is my wish not to explain do so
myself by
halves, I must
defer that task
for some a
while it is a
task I will not
attempt at present,
having
other letters to
write by this first
being called to
town tomorrow
morning by engagements
which will
hold me for some
days — In the
meantime, I
have the honour
to be with all
respect
I would not let slip
a part without this earliest opportunity
acknowledging the
favours above
spoken of mentioned as a
proof of the respect
with which I have
the honour to be
My L.
Your Lsh.
much obliged &
most ob. b. s.'

Foreseeing that
it would be impossible
for me
to find them for to explaining
myself fully
by this first, having
other letters to
write and unwilling
to explain myself
by halves,
