350.
To J. B. Holroyd, Esq.
Monday Evening, 29th June, 1778.
With a trembling hand I inclose a letter from Hugonin in its pure and original state—Return it with proper directions; or answer it yourself, which would please me much better.—I suppose there are complaints of my silence. I am however by four and twenty hours less guilty than I seem——
I expect an account of your meeting and motions; and some encouragement might attract Aunt Kitty and myself in the course of next week——
KEPPEL'S ATTACK ON FRENCH FRIGATES.
What think you of Keppel?[405] We are pleased on the whole: yet some Ministers such as Ld. Mansfield and Wedd[erburn] affect to talk doubtfully about a War. Adieu.
