BEACONSFIELD, 30th October, 1773.
TO SIR CHARLES BINGHAM.
A
LETTER
TO
THE HON. CHARLES JAMES FOX,
ON THE AMERICAN WAR.
OCTOBER 8, 1777.
My Dear Charles,—I am, on many accounts, exceedingly pleased with your journey to Ireland. I do not think it was possible to dispose better of the interval between this and the meeting of Parliament. I told you as much, in the same general terms, by the post. My opinion of the infidelity of that conveyance hindered me from being particular. I now sit down with malice prepense to kill you with a very long letter, and must take my chance for some safe method of conveying the dose. Before I say anything to you of the place you are in, or the business of it, on which, by the way, a great deal might be said, I will turn myself to the concluding part of your letter from Chatsworth.
