Dear Sam
Your Letter in spite of the indifferent
news it brought, gave me great pleasure — I have
just stolen a few minutes to tell you so, relying upon
the situation which I am in, of having my thoughts
pretty much occupied, for my excuse with you, who
have so full an experience of such a situation,
telling you so sooner - A Gentleman hoping
to call upon me 'tother day with whom I am
intimate & whom I believe you once saw at my Chambers,
& the discourse falling upon our several families
& relations, I shewed pulled out the letter which was there
in one of my pockets, without any thoughts of what happen'd & shew'd it him - He joined with
us in our reflections upon the behaviour of the sleeveless
Knight, & told me, that, being upon good terms, as I
knew, in Sr Gilbert Elliot's family, who is one of the
Carleton-House Junta as it is called, & what is more
to the purpose, Treasurer of the Navy, if he could,
