Ever affectionately yours,

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM.
London, Sept. 14, 1822.
My dear Duke,
You will be anxious to learn the result of the discussions with Mr. Canning, and I have great pleasure in informing you that he has accepted the Foreign Office, and is to lead in the House of Commons.
This was settled yesterday, but as I have been confined to my house, I did not hear it till it was too late to write to you by last night's post.
I hope to be able to set out for Vienna on Monday.
Believe me, my dear Duke,
Ever yours most sincerely,
