Your stamp'd paper was not large enough, but my servant found a stamp'd
paper at Lincoln's Inn.

St. James's Place,
9th June, 1783.
My dear Lord,
Ten thousand thanks for all the trouble you are so kind (as) to take in
my affairs; this day I receiv'd yours of the 31st May, with the bill
{370} inclosed for 498l. 2s. 5d. If the instrument I sent over should
not be satisfactory, I will sign any new deed which shall be sent me
for the purpose.
I have not much acquaintance w^{th} Lord Northington; but seeing him at
St. James's the day he took leave of the King, I wish'd him success in
his new government, and took the liberty to mention your name to him as
y^e person in the whole kingdom whose advice would be most beneficial
to him. I told him I asked no favour of him but one, which was to
recollect what I then said to him if he should have occasion to call
upon you for advice and assistance hereafter, when he would find it for
his great satisfaction to be well founded.
