Dear Madam,
I excuse the cheat and consent to the money being employed as you mention. I hope I shall not be obliged to take my revenge before I go into the Country. When I have said that, after three very pleasant days at Aldershot, I am returned with caution to my usual way of life in town, I have no private news to add, except that the Masquerade was dull and magnificent. I had the sole care of Mrs. I. above two hours; a Parisian husband! As to public news I believe you may depend on the L. of D[enmark]'s divorce, that Fregates[172] are going for her, and that she will reside at Zell. My compliments to Mr. Bayly. Clarke returns him a thousand thanks and wishes to feast his ears in St. James's Street. Sir—The bell is going by—I have just done. Why do I always write at eleven o'clock at night?
I am, dear Madam,
Ever yours,
E. G.
I have wrote to Chatfield.

To J. B. Holroyd, Esq.
Pall Mall, May 26, 1772.
