In the midst of our chagrins, my good folks, it would be
cruel in me to keep from you a report which if it be true,
can hardly fail of giving you pleasure. Sr Gilbert Elliot,
is dead; so much is certain. He was Treasurer of the Navy.
The place is in time of peace £3000 a year: and now is said
to be about £5, or 6,000. I imagine too he has places in his
gift. What does this lead to? I will tell you. I was informed told
just now, by a person who is pretty well informed, (not Lind) that it was
settled Lord Howe was to have it. Ld Howe it seems had had
it once before: in the Duke of Graftons ministry. When the
D. went out, Ld H. made it a point of honour to go out too.
