[salute] Sir
Yours of the 24. 27 and 31. Ultimo came altogether last night. The Note in that of

If a certain Sett, are governed wholly by Passion, it must be confessed they have
as constant a gale of it, as a Tempest so furious, will in the ordinary course of

I will bring my Boys acquainted with the young Gentleman you mentioned in a former

Loughborough, with a long list of &cas. shooting up, perpedicularly, in Government,

and Government Seem wonderfully cordial and harmonious.
With great Esteem
